Movie Description:
TIDAL SEAS The sun and moon move billions of tons of water with every turn of the tide. The strongest tides empty emtire bays, smash trees on river-banks, and strand sea creatureson sud- denly dry land. Weakertides control the movements of huge numbers of fish. And as the water recedes, the tide cancreate unbelievable landscapes--like a sparkling world of saltcrystals in hab-ited only by tiny shrimp and bright pinkflamingos. COASTS From rocky cliffs to gentle dunes, the coasts are always changing. Day in and day out, they are battered bycrashing waves. Seabirds come here by the thousands to nest, while baby turtles hatch and race to the sea. Young sea lion pups are born and play onthe sand-until a killer whale attackes. But when breeding season is over, life returns to the sea and the shores are empty once again.
