Littoral Zone Organism

Littoral zone organisms live where land meets sea (the beach). Crabs are an example of littoral, or Intertidal zone organisms. Littoral zone organisms have the ability to breath both above and underwater. Littoral zone organisms are especially in danger of predators during low tide because then they are exposed to birds and foxes. Crabs make burrows in the sand to protect themselves from predators.
