This article explores the significance of the rocky intertidal zone and the influence of disturbances, such as tides and diseases, on the communities within it. The rocky intertidal zone is a diverse ecosystem that is shaped by daily tides and contains unique lifeforms. Diseases, like sea star wasting syndrome, have had a notable impact on the community, particularly on keystone species like the ochre star. Scientists study these ecosystems to understand their response to disturbances and make informed decisions about their management. Protecting these vital ecosystems is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and understanding the health of the natural environment. The National Park Service is actively studying the impact of sea star wasting syndrome and monitoring rocky intertidal communities to protect them. [Extracted from the article] |
