Tides are an interactive combination of forces between the Earth, the moon, and the sun. They have several impacts on the shoreline, and in human activity. Tide prediction allows surfers to choose the best time of the day to catch waves, fishermen to plan their activities, and cargo ships to transport large items as they pass under bridges. Many vessels were irreversibly damaged after being stranded in low tides. Currents created by incoming and outgoing tides are dangerous threats to swimmers in popular beaches.  Tides also have a substantial impact on marine life, as they promote the gathering of fish in one spot.
