Shoreline environments are highly variable, both in space and time. Organisms occupying the shoreline have adapted to a certain degree of natural variation in habitat and environmental conditions. For example, the breaching of normally closed estuaries to the sea during rough/high seas and high rainfall allows juvenile fish to enter the ocean and for adult fish to enter the estuary to spawn. 
Protective structures to prevent sand loss or counteract high tides may act to disrupt this natural variation in habitat and environment. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that due to climate change, shoreline environments are experiencing more frequent extreme conditions, such as storms and higher sea levels. Protective structures could act to provide slightly more stable environmental conditions under which certain organisms can survive.

Harrizon [31]

It takes seven seconds for the pupil to adapt once again to dark conditions after getting exposed to headlight glare.

The pupil of the eye refers to the black circle at the midpoint of the iris. The pupil functions mainly to monitor the amount of light getting inside the eyes, to make sure that to much light does not blanch out the visions in extremely bright light conditions, and to capture as much light as possible in dim light conditions.

How does the uterus prepare itself to receive a fertilized egg?
frez [133]
The fertilized egg begins a rapid descent to the uterus. The period of rest in the tube appears to be necessary for full development of the fertilized egg and for the uterus to prepare to receive theegg. ... At the end of this transition period, the embryo becomes a mass of very organized cells, called a blastocyst.
