Forest Zone

Imagine trying to keep your clothes dry while walking through a rainstorm with only a small umbrella. Just as you need to maintain a certain distance from the rain to stay dry, a forest zone must be far enough from the ocean's salt spray and wave action to thrive. In this analogy, your dry clothes are like the thriving trees and plants, the rainstorm represents the harsh coastal conditions, and the small umbrella is akin to the protective distance that allows this forest zone to flourish without being affected by the salty environment.
