Marine ecosystem

Feeding relationships are often shown as simple food chains – in reality, these relationships are much more complex, and the term ‘food web’ more accurately shows the links between producers, consumer...

Every eco-system plays a vital role, and the marine ecosystem is vital for the planets survival.

An example of biodiversity

Corals are animals because they do not make their own food, as plants do. Corals have tiny, tentacle-like arms that they use to capture their food from the water and sweep into their inscrutable mouths. Marine Ecosystem Jane Park & Stephen Lam Basic Information of Marine

Epipelagic Zone [Sunlight] This zone has the depth of about 200 meters (656 feet) below the ocean surface. Microscopic plants called phytoplanktons are present in this zone. Sunlight penetrates thi…

In Biology we've been studying ecosystems. Students could pick any ecosystem they wanted to create a representative food web- with all trophic levels and feeding mechanisms labeled! Hanah got super creative with her project and created a very artsy food web for an ocean ecosystem!

Today is International Day for Biological Diversity 💚💙 So we thought today is a good day to have a closer look at what marine life relies on for biodiversity - a dynamic food chain. ⛓👌 The food chain consists of 4 different levels. 👉 1st level is made up of the primary producers, who make energy from photosynthesis. 💚 Here you'll find seagrass, seaweed, and phytoplankton. Did you know that the ocean's primary producers also produce more than half of the oxygen we breathe on Earth?…

The importance of Marine Protected Areas for our ecosystem

This page provides in-depth knowledge related to a number of concepts that can contribute to restoring the health of an estuarine ecosystem: Creating tidal parks; Restoring tidal dynamics; Restoring salinity gradients; Restoring connections. Estuaries are located on the transition between the freshwater and marine environments. As a result, estuaries are subjected to influences from both: […]

Five depth zones have been identified in the ocean. Life is most abundant in the uppermost ‘euphotic’ layer, where photosynthesis occurs. The mesopelagic is practically dark, and many creatures hide here during the day. The bathypelagic zone begins at 1,000 metres, where the pressure is nearly 100 times greater than at the surface. Below that lies the abyssopelagic zone, down to the sea floor – except where ocean trenches cut through the sea bed, creating what is called a hadopelagic zone.

Oceanographers, biologists & other researchers have warned that mining plans would cause widespread #pollution, destroy global fish stocks & obliterate marine ecosystems. The deep sea holds vast reservoirs of carbon which could be completely disrupted by mining & would exacerbate the global crisis of rising greenhouse gas levels. The new UN High Sea treaty signifies a clear global recognition of the importance of ocean conservation but collabrative efforts are still needed to keep the brakes…

Say hey to corals! 🌟 These guys are the backbone of our oceans. 🌊 They're real, live animals (yup, not plants!) that do some serious heavy lifting for marine life. 🐟 Making homes for thousands of fish and keeping our coastlines snug and safe. And get this - they've been around for 500 million years! 🤯 But hold up, they need our help - big time. Climate change is no joke for our reef friends. 🆘 Pin this to spread awareness and learn how you can help save our coral comrades! 🐠💪
