Looking out from the east end of Alki Beach, jagged rocks covered in barnacles and seaweeds offer an intricate habitat teeming with life. These formations create an essential ecosystem within the intertidal zone, where small creatures like limpets, snails, and crabs find food and shelter in every crevice. These tiny organisms play a crucial role in the food chain, supporting shorebirds, fish, and larger marine animals that forage at high tide.
