Comment on this resource
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 user develop an understanding of basic marine plant ecology and adaptation. A number of useful links to information on aquatic plants, marine ecology and biological evolution are included, as well as a rubric for scoring this activity.
