Littoral Zone Organism

The Littoral Zone is the part of the ocean, river, or in this case lake, that is close to the shore and in many cases is not always covered in water due to the changing tides. These snails are a good example because they can be found on the muddy banks of Queen Lake and climbing up the tall grass in the creek. These organisms are special because they are able to survive both in and out of the water with ease. Other examples of Littoral zone organisms include starfish, sand dollars, flowers, tall grasses, and crabs.
