- Exploring The Estuary and Climate Change Connection
There are less than 100 species of plants in the ocean compared to some 250,000 flowering plants on land. Ocean plants can be found in the upper 100 feet (30m) where they can get light and energy from the sun’s rays.
understand how plants and animals feed, reproduce and live in an estuary investigate a species of their choice and describe how it feeds, reproduces and interacts Students can: research an estuary animal, plant or other living thing, recording ideas about its feeding, breeding and habitat in estuaries
In this activity, students will construct an example of a food pyramid for estuary organisms and examine this flow of energy. Students will consider climate change potential impacts to marine food webs.
Estuary animals need to cope with changes in the salinity of the water in the estuary as the tides change, and must also adjust to the different amounts of mineral salts, oxygen and organic matter, as well as their different buoyancies. Animals have many physical and behavioural features/adaptations that allow them to cope with these conditions.
Estuaries are important living, breeding and feeding habitats for many animals, including a wide range of fishes, birds, shellfish and other wildlife. Estuaries contain a variety of diferent habitats depending on their location, geology, climate and conditions.
In this activity, students investigate the incredible biodi-versity that exists in estuarine environments. They begin by exploring the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) using Google Earth.
