From Module (14) you will have this question:
Marine life in our oceans must adapt to harsh ocean conditions (darkness cold changing salinities etc.) as well as human influences. Please choose ONE of the following oceanic ecosystems and outline its physical characteristics and its marine life. Then discuss how the life in that ecosystem has adapted to the environmental conditions it must live within. Finally discuss at least one way that humans are impacting the ecosystem you chose and the effects of human impact to marine life there. (Choices of biozones: Coral Reefs Rocky Intertidal Coasts Salt Marshes Mangrove Swamps Kelp Forests Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vents The Open Sea Sandy Beaches)
