Coastal WetlandsCoastal land areas that are

covered by salt water for all or part of the time

Provides habitat and nesting areas

Absorbs excess rainProtects areas from

floodingFilters out pollutants and

EstuariesArea in which fresh

water from a river mixes with salt water from the ocean

Considered to be a nutrient trap due to the mixing of the waters

Very productive ecosystem

Land masses protect them from the force of the ocean waves

Mangrove SwampA marine swamp

characterized by the abundance of low to tall trees

Trees adapted to living in salt water

Coral ReefsLimestone ridges built by tiny coral animals

called coral polyps and the algae that live inside them

Found in shallow, clear tropical seas

Coral ReefsOne of the most

diverse ecosystems on earth

Fragile ecosystemWater cannot be too

hot, too cold, polluted, muddy or high in nutrients

What happens if this occurs?

Algae dies and coral bleaching happens

Coral Reefs in DangerWhy are coral reefs

in danger?Human activitiesGlobal warmingOil spillsPollutionOverfishing

Why is it important to not stress out or destroy a coral reef?

They grow back slowly and may not be able to repair itself

OceansOne of the least

productive of all ecosystems

Why?Not enough light and

nutrients for the phytoplankton

Depths of the ocean are perpetually darkMost food at the

ocean floor consists of dead organisms that fall from the surface

ThreatsPollution from

activities on landOverfishing

Arctic and Antarctic EcosystemsArctic ocean – rich

in nutrients from surrounding land masses

Supports large populations of plankton

Feeds a rich diversity of fish

Antarctic – only continent never colonized by humans

Plankton is the basis of its food web
