What tide does kelp live in?

Kelp typically thrives in the intertidal and subtidal zones, which are areas that can be affected by both high and low tides. It primarily grows in the subtidal zone, where it remains submerged and is less exposed to the harsh conditions of the low tide. Kelp forests are often found in nutrient-rich waters, where they can access sunlight for photosynthesis. These ecosystems provide habitat for a diverse range of marine life.
