The Upper Intertidal Zone

        The upper intertidal zone has the least amount of time submerged in water.  The organisms that inhabit this zone must be well adapted to withstand exposure to air.  Typical organisms that inhabit this zone include lichens, green algae, brown algae, red algae, L. littorea's, and cyanobacteria.  Also, acorn barnacles are able to survive along this zone.
