Rocky coast / intertidal

Explore rocky shores and the changing boundary between land and sea.

These 23 environments are proposed player-facing categories, not an authoritative scientific ecosystem classification.

Your starter environment

A shared 360° starter workspace is available. Habitat-specific scenery and objects still need reviewed material.

Build a private world

Public exploration is open. Editing and saving use your existing NZ Ex Games account and participation authority.

Content gaps and potential Field missions
  • A reviewed 360° environment for rocky coast / intertidal.
  • Documented habitat and species photographs for rocky coast / intertidal, with capture context and reuse permission.
  • Authentic ecological relationships and process examples; identifications and interpretations need review.

Online participants can help research sources and describe what is missing. Field participants can contribute original captures with context and permissions. These are suggested missions, not submitted requests.

Field submissions remain subject to existing review and publication controls; uploading does not add them to this library.

Reference applicability helps investigation. It does not verify a habitat classification, species occurrence or ecological outcome in your world.

Lowland native forest is the working demonstration. Kahikatea swamp forest and pastoral farmland / farm margins are enrichment priorities.
