PRESENTATION OUTLINE

MARINE BIOMES

By Sewar Ali and Jaida Rangel

Untitled Slide

GULF OF MEXICO

  • Temperature range: 62-82 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Annual precipitation: 99-300cm per year

PLANT ADAPTATIONS

  • Underwater leaves and stems are flexible to move with ocean currents
  • Some plants produce seeds that can float
  • Some plants have leaves that float so they can expose themselves to the sun

ANIMAL APAPTATIONS

  • Some camouflage to blend into the environment
  • Clown fish produce a mucus that protects them from the anemones stings
  • Starfish can grow back any organ they lose without bleeding to death or getting an infection

SITES TO SEE

  • USS LEXINGTON
  • J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge
  • Robinson Nature Preserve

THINGS TO DO

  • Kayaking
  • Canoeing
  • Boat tour

Human impact/change in environment

  • A offshore drilling rig in the Gulf exploded, causing a sea-floor oil leak
  • This hurt the environment by declining in recreation
  • The animals had then a unbalanced food chain, many decreased fish and wildlife population
  • The oil spill suffocated marsh grasses, enhanced erosion

Astropecten Articulatus
Multicellular
It has a nucleus
Eukaryotic
Heterotrophic
Echinodermata

Rhizophpra mangle(mangrove)
Multicellular
Has a cell wall and nucleus
Eukaryotic
Autotrophic
Rhizophora mucronta
Angiosperm
Deciduous
Vascular

Algae( pediastrum boryanum)
It can be either singular or multicellular
Cell wall
Eukaryotic
Autotrophic
Brown Algae(phaeophyceae)
Plant-like

Thiomargarita nambinesis
Single cellular
Cell wall
Prokaryotic
Autotrophic
Spherical
Thiotrichaceae

Calathella mangrovei
Multicellular
Cell wall
Eukaryotic
Heterotrophic
Calathella makoyana
Digestion outside of cell

RELATIONSHIPS

  • Parasitic(one is harmed other is benefitted) - isopod and fish
  • Predation-(one preys on another organism )shark & baby fish
  • Commensalism(one is benefitted other is unaffected)clownfish & sea anemones
  • Mutualism- (both benefit)boxer crab and anemone
  • Competition- (both compete for resources)sponges and coral competing for space

BIODIVERSITY LOSS

  • Habitat loss(destruction of habitat)-hurricanes break coral
  • Invasive species(new species which introduced to a new community)- Green crabs are on both sides of North America and are predators to many forms of sea life

BIODIVERSITY LOSS CONT.

  • Pollution(introduction of a harmful substance in a environment)- oil spills have killed many organisms, causing predators to find another source of food
  • Population(certain type of species) a school of clownfish
  • Overuse(excessive amount)- tragedy of the commons; overfishing

Untitled Slide

PRIMARY SUCCESSION

  • Gradual growth of a plant life where there was previously no vegetation or soil
  • Coral is deposited and begins to grow on the lava flow. The coral is the first to colonize

SECONDARY SUCCESSION

  • Populations greatly decrease after initial disruption
  • Coral stacks on top of each other

CLIMAX COMMUNITY

  • One that has reached the stable stage

Untitled Slide

PROJECT EMERALD

  • Biodome name- Saida
  • Orbiting speed- 23 hours 56 minutes 4 secs
  • Rotating speed- not needed
  • Sustainability- 5 years

Untitled Slide

  • Crew complement- 12 people
  • Quarters- submarine
  • Needs- they eat raw fish and drink the water through a salt water purifier
  • Gravity issues- it's water so they just float
  • The growing of plants,fungi,protist,and bacteria we will Velcro down or just let is float
  • I don't think the organisms will be too affected
