The intertidal zone would be most damaged by the construction of a new resort
Explanation:
The area of shoreline, exposed to the open air when there is low tide and is covered with the water of sea in times of high tides is the intertidal zone. Here, various marine trees and animals form their communities between the line of low and high tide. As it has a huge variety of marine species this place needs to be protected from environmental and manmade harms.
Building a resort in this zone could affect its marine life. This zone is a vital food service zone for various animals; it protects the soil of this area from erosion. Building things could harm this zone.
