Environmental Issues In Finding Nemo
An ecosystem is a group of connected elements (biotic and abiotic) that are formed by interaction of the community with their environment.
A community is living organisms (biotic) that share a common environment. It doesn’t include abiotic or environmental factors.
An example of
Adaptations
Other than the fact that fish could breathe underwater, the gills that fish have are able to separate the salt from the saltwater, enabling them to be able to drink clean water.
Animals deep in the ocean use the ocean currents as a form of transportation, similar to the loggerhead sea turtles in the movie, Finding Nemo.
Many animals have very thick layers of blubber to be able to survive the cold but sea otter have hairs at least one million per square inch. That is roughly ten times more hairs than what humans have on …show more content…

The human impact on the marine biome has been both negative and positive.
Most negative impacts came from land-based sources. Oils spills, garbage, acidification, untreated sewage, overfishing and marine litter are prime examples of negative impacts humans did to the marine biome. People have done positive impacts also to keep animals living in the marine biome living. Humans have picked up trash from beaches, prevented oil spills, watched what they put down sinks, prevented dumping waste into the ocean and many other positive things.
Predation is the relationship in which a predator captures and eats its prey.
Competition is when more than one organism (or population) tries to use the same limited resource.
Symbiosis is a relationship between two species. Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism are the three main types of symbiosis.
Symbiosis (Mutualism) A boxer crab holds anemone in their claws and uses the stinging tentacles to protect itself from predators. The anemone is benefited in the situation by being able to eat particles of food that the boxer crab eats.

The marine biome is the largest biome in the world, covering about 70% of the earth. The marine biome consists of four main oceans, the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, and the Arctic oceans. This biome also includes small gulfs and bays. The climate of the biome varies because of how large the biome is. The average precipitation yearly is over 100 inches. Billions of sea animals live in the spacious they call home.
A food web is a system of interlocking food chains that live in the same biome.
An energy pyramid is a graphical model of how energy flows through a community. The energy pyramid consists of 4 steps. The first step is the producers, or autotrophs. These organisms make their own food from photosynthesis (The process of how plants make food). Examples of a producer in the marine biomes are Phytoplankton and Algae. The second step in the energy pyramid are herbivores. Herbivores are primary consumers that eat only plants. Examples of herbivores in the marine biomes are lobsters and mussels. The third step of the energy pyramid are carnivores. Carnivores are secondary consumers that only eats meat. Examples of carnivores in the marine biome are Sharks and Salmon. The fourth step in the energy pyramid are omnivores. Omnivores are tertiary consumers that eat meat and plants. Examples of omnivores are Humans, Shrimp, and Sea Urchins. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organisms to give nutrients to the producers. Examples of decomposers are Bacteria and Fungi.
