Sea grass beds are the coastal marine ecosystem consisting of at least 60 species of plants that grow underwater in shallow marine and estuarine areas along most continental coastlines. Salt marshes are dominated by salt-tolerant grasses and are found in intertidal zones. Intertidal zones are the areas between high and low tide where organisms need to adapt to changing conditions. Mangrove forests are found in tropical and subtropical tidal zones where trees and shrubs adapted to saltwater grow. Coral reefs are marine ecosystems composed of calcium carbonate structures built by living organisms.
