The seashore turns to desert when the tide goes out, and rockpools become oases. Fish, prawns, worms, shrimps and sea anemones have perfected their survival techniques to cope.
There are fish that can live out of water, or stick to the rocks like limpets. They all await the new tide - but will they survive that most dangerous of predators - the 9-year-old human with a fishing net?

A Brass Tacks special
Swords and Ploughshares
On a deserted stretch of the Scottish coastline stands the Dounreay fast reactor, a symbol of Britain's atomic achievement.
To the British government it's an exciting technology that will reward colossal investment with abundant energy in the next century. To critics it's the nuclear dream gone sour. We've been promised cheap electricity from the peaceful use of nuclear energy since the early 1950s. But what is the evidence that the promise has been kept?
In the second film in the series David Taylor investigates what the real value of nuclear power has been, both to the British people and to national security.
