immediately become part of the plankton‚ a population of very small plants and animals that floats near the ocean surface. As soon as it enters this population‚ a sea star larva begins to search. It eats as many of its tiny neighbors as it can catch. As it eats‚ it becomes bigger and stronger. Although the plankton stage is a time of great growth and opportunity for a sea star larva‚ it is also a time of great danger. Sea stars are not the only hunters roaming the plankton. There are many other small

management and conservation of our various coastal and marine resources. In performing the activity‚ the students learned to determine the physico-chemical factors in the intertidal zone‚ and the composition and abundance of macrophytes‚ macrofauna and plankton present on the selected sampling site. Tests were performed and samples were also gathered for analysis in the laboratory. Results were then collected as the basis for determination of the condition of the area being sampled. INTRODUCTION

limited to no light and may experience extreme temperatures. Researchers use few instruments to measurement productivity in an area. Plankton nets measure various ocean properties by filtering plankton from the sea in their fine mesh nets. These nylon mesh nets‚ shaped like a windsocks‚ collect plankton for study. Plankton and other types of organisms accumulated from different and specific depths give approximate productivity properties for that region of water. Other methods

Abstract: : The purpose of studying the biological organisms in the Mpenjati estuary-beach system is to distinguish between organisms and estimate diversity within the estuary found at different locations along the estuary-beach profile in accordance with factors affecting the daily routines of these marine life and other aspects in which these organisms concur with. The organisms found in these waters play an important role in the ecosystems they function in therefore it is imperative to seek a
