| Behavioral Adaptation | Things an organism does to survive in its habitat. Examples: hibernating and migrating in winter; periwinkle snails climbing up the grass to escape high tide; a muskrat building a lodge for shelter.

| High Marsh | Floods during really high tides. Lots of salt in the water makes it hard for plants to grow. Salt marsh hay provides protection for coffee bean snails and mussels. Good place for nesting.
🗑
