Where
oceans
and
seas
meet
land,
the
change
is
abrupt
and
sudden.
The
plants
and
animals
that
call
this
transition
zone
home
have
interesting
adaptations.
Users
can
view
pictures
and
read
about
several
types
of
shorelines
and
coastal
features
(sandy
shores,
barrier
islands,
rocky
shores,
tide
pools,
estuaries,
salt

This
site
is
a
portion
of
a
larger
program
in
which
users
construct
a
world
and
the
life
that
inhabits
it.
Marine
botany
is
the
subject
of
this
site,
and
users
are
instructed
on
how
they
can
'evolve'
their
own
plant
species
to
meet
the
characteristics
of
specific
marine
environments.
Although
the
goal
of
this
activity
is
to
create
imaginary
species,
it
is
based
on
having
the

This
site
explores
the
plant
and
animal
communities
that
exist
within
an
estuary.
Specifically,
it
examines
the
planktonic,
pelagic,
benthic
and
intertidal
communities,
and
focuses
on
organisms
that
are
characteristic
of
the
community,
how
scientists
investigate
these
organisms,
and
why
such
organisms
are
important
to
the
biological
community
of
estuaries.
Additionally,

These three lessons focus on the effect of fluctuations of temperature on aquatic life. Topics include effects on the growth and survival rate of aquatic plants, how the metabolic rate of clams is affected by a change in temperature, and the optimal temperature for the hatching and development of brine shrimp eggs.

For ecologists, the horseshoe crab is an important creature- a vastly adaptable organism that predates most species on the planet, with a lifecyle that is interlocked with other animals. Users can view information, photographs, and diagrams that explain the anatomy, range and habitat, lifecycle, ecological niche, reproductive cycle, and medical uses of the horseshoe crab.

With this interactive simulation, students can learn about Mako sharks, Sandbar sharks, and Nurse sharks, including facts about their habitats and migration. They will study the tagging procedure, including tools and processes used, and try to predict where a shrk will be in order to try to tag one.
