Intertidal zone

A horizontal rocky coastal strip representing the intertidal zone between high- and low-tide marks. The shoreline appears as a narrow band with upper, middle, and lower sections distinguished by a gradual exposure gradient from drier pale gray-brown rock to darker damp gray-green wet rock. Include wet exposed stones, patches of attached green-brown algae or seaweed, and shallow blue tide pools scattered across the surface. The band should clearly show the transition between submerged and exposed shoreline, with a simplified diagrammatic or clipart-style appearance suitable for labeling tidal zones.
