The Guide to Australian Marine Life-2

In this chapter we find out there are more habitats besides open sea in which sea life thrive and survive. Estuaries and mangrove forests keep the coasts safe from storms and rough waves. In places where there are no walls or estuaries, the ocean scrapes away at the mainland, transforming it into a large cliff face. The habitat that I found most interesting was the tidal waterfalls. Depending on the time of day, the waterfall is either on one side or the other! I hope to find out what awesome creature live in these environments...

The Guide to Australian Marine Life-1

Every part of the sea has some form of life. Be it seaweed, crabs, whales, and dolphins. The ecosystem under the waves is affected by three key factors: temperature, sunlight, and ocean currents. While the sun can only give light and warmth for up to 200 ft below sea level, life continues to live among the darkness. however, life in the ocean is not easy; every 10 meters lower into the ocean applies about an entire atmosphere of pressure! since places like this are rare in Australia, we will not go into much more detail. Let the journey begin!
