# Tide Phase Report

This report compares how the top estuary specimens change between low, mean, and high tide. The numbers are fractions of the generated grid.

## Interpretation

The strongest specimens are not simply the wettest. They combine broad intertidal exposure with a channel network that keeps low tide connected to the sea. That gives the maps a visible before-and-after without turning the entire grid into water at high tide.
