Overview
A Seashore is the area ocean and sea meet with lands. It usually consists of loose particles which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles or cobblestones. The particles comprising the beach are occasionally biological in origin, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae. A coastline or seashore is the area where land meets the sea or ocean. A precise line that can be called a coastline cannot be determined due to the dynamic nature of tides. The term "coastal zone" can be used instead, which is a spatial zone where interaction of the sea and land processes occurs
Physical Factors
Search the Internet for information on the following physical factors in the allocated ecosystem.
- Light: light level of the seashore will vary according to various parameters. For example, the middle shore has a lower light level than the upper shore. The light level will usually be higher in areas of the seashore that are above the water level than those covered by the tide.
- Temperature: depend on the location of the seashore
- Water: seashore is initially clean but human activities such as littering into the ocean have polluted the water
- Air: Depend how the people polute
Classification of Living Organisms
Plankton: The most abundant life forms in the ocean are plankton; most are so small that you can't even see them.
Plants and Algae: There are only a few true plants in the oceans; these include salt marsh grasses and mangrove trees.
Marine Invertebrates: Invertebrates are animals with no spinal column. Marine invertebrates include sea slugs, sea anemones, starfish, octopi, clams, sponges, sea worms, crabs and lobster
Marine mammals: Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates that feed their young with milk.
Fishes: fish are vertebrates that have a spinal column and a hard skull.
1)Producers: Plants and Algae
2)Primary Consumers: Plankton
3)Secondary Consumers: Fishes
4) Tertiary Consumers: Marine mammals
5)Decomposers: Marine Invertebrates
Food Web

hi Aloy, you guys are responsible, very good!
So this work is done by 3 people? it is decent, but its abit little. Maybe you can elaborate in each section e.g. "interrelationships in ecosystem"
