Esturary
Animal adaptations are they have to be able to breath in both salt and fresh water. animals also have to find shelter in mosses and grasses.

Salt water ecosystem

Intertidal Zone, Neritic Zone, Surface Zone, Deep Zone

Intertidal Zone
- Plants adaptations are their roots burrow deep in the sand or sediment.

Intertidal Zone
- Animal adaptations are they cling to rocks because of the strong pounding waves,also the burrow into the sand or rocks.

Neritic Zone
- Plant adaptations are they have to be able to survive in warm water, and grow with little space since photosynthesis provides a lot of life.

Neritic Zone
- Fish swim in large schools for protection, fish also have to adapt to feeding on alge.

Surface Zone
- Plant adaptations are alge carries out photosynthesis.

Surface Zone
- Fish such as tuna, swordfish, and whales feed on alge in large schools.

Deep Zone
- Plants are almost non-existant due to it being so deep in the ocean and there being almost no light

Deep Zone
- Animals have to adapt to the water being very dark and some animals even have glow in the dark bodies or eyes to help see. Also, animals have to feed of the remains of dead animals since it is hard to see other animals to feed off of.
