-tidal changed effect the organisms living in the ocean and all the organism have to adap to the tidal change time to get survive. Tidal ranges effect of channels, reefs, basins, and animals. For example, last Saturday I went to Ladder beach around 5 pm , during the time local people come to the beach to pick up the died shrimps float from the ocean . Why these shrimps died? The reason is that they can not jump over the high tide so the high tide hit them to death. Also, from the textbook, it described that grunions are laying eggs during the heights tides because they need to reach the upper parts of the beach to take a good plot to lay their eggs.High tide time is good form grunions to continue their populations
