The supralittoral zone is the area of the shoreline that lies above the high tide line. This zone is often characterized by dry land and is influenced by salt spray from the ocean. It is home to various organisms that can tolerate both salt and occasional flooding, such as certain types of mosses and lichens. In this zone, the environment can be harsh due to exposure to wind, sun, and limited water availability. Organisms here have adapted to survive these conditions, making the supralittoral zone an important habitat for coastal ecosystems. It serves as a transition area between land and sea.
