The three zones of rocky shores are the splash zone, the intertidal zone, and the subtidal zone. Species diversity is highest in the subtidal zone as a result of the greater stability of this zone. Animals are nearly always submerged in the subtidal, which means they will always have oxygen and food. Wave action in the subtidal is also reduced. The ultimate result is that more species can occupy this area without suffering as they would in the upper reaches of the intertidal.
