I thought last weeks discussion was very interesting. The thing that amazed me were the atolls and how they were formed. I realized that these atolls were old volcanoes that were islands, but the coral grew around the volcano, causing it to sink f...
Great job explaining the Ocean Zones! I think it is crazy how they just told the people to get off the island so they could blow it up. That was their home!? All it did was test a bomb and hurt the enviornment. Although Mr. Nash did talk about the...
It is crazy to me how we could eat at a lower trophic level and have 10 times as much food as we would have the next trophic level up. It doesn't make sense to me when everyone is eating at high trophic levels. Eating at lower trophic levels is he...
We can reflect on the night, or research about a topic and post here.
Last monday nights class was very interesting. I was unaware of how the trophic levels affected us as humans. It is obvious to me that we need to get our resources and food from the lowest trophic level possible. I thought it was very interesting ...
Now that I'm finally able to hear the actual video it's really good. You packed a lot of information into it and the hand movements really add to it.
I cant lie, this video is goofy! Its defines the subject real well. Good job man.
the dance is sort of creepy...eek
I really like it though.
The first four chapters have led me very interested in the coral reef. i think that it is amazing how things so small and so big live in the habitat. i think that it is really amazing how Osha Gray Davidson, author of The Enchanted Braid, has been...

The Intriguing Coral Reef
The first four chapters of The Enchanted Braid have led me very interested in the coral reef. I think that it is amazing how things so small and so big live in the habitat. I think that it is really amazing how Osha Gray Davidson, author of The Enchanted Braid, has been to the coral reef in the florida keys. im wondering if we are going to the same spot he did? that would be cool. I also think its cool how in chapter 4, pg 45, he said, "In practice, each of us gnawed away ineffectually at the co… Continue

thanks for that on the supralittoral/littoral thing. I guess I should have had my notes in front of me when I wrote that. I had in a big box that said LITTORAL and not supralittoral. And since I did get that wrong on here I probably got that stuck...

Use the space below to reflect on our latest class session... and introduction to the ins & outs of coral reef formation.
The slide set we used to facilitate our chat can be viewed here: (soon)
In the space below, tell what connections you made ...
yes, and yes... and also simply trap it within a structure they can close. think: mollusks.
I understand now. That helps.
To an extent. Does this mean they find water to make gills efficient, or does it mean they produce a saliva or water based substance to clear up their needs?
Whoa. That's sick to think algae is in all those common everyday things Americans eat. Didn't he also say it was in gum. Or am I totally making that up? I'll have to check up on that.
You did an awesome job looking up all those definitions. I'm a visual learner too, so when I was making my post. I opened up my Marine Biology book. I have to see it in person, or in pictures to understand something. One thing I think we all didn'...
Also, I have a quick question. In this picture, is this considered a tide pool? I am confused because it is not in an enclosed pool but it still has to go through the different levels of high-tide and low-tide.
So I love chocolate milk and pudding so this is a cool way to connect the ocean and the foods we eat to people like me who are not to much of sea food fans. I never would have guessed but i would have never really thought about it either.
Hey this is what mine is about. There are the four different levels and that pretty much determines how much sun and water each are exposed to, i think.
I, being the procrastinator, am just starting to do this assignment (you know the one that is due in just a couple of hours). Therefore, I am doing this two weeks after the lesson and the thing that stuck with me the most was the tide pools. The p...
Before last class period I knew nothing about oceanic zones, I learned that there are two main oceanic zones called the pelagic and the Benthic zones both of which are seperated into smaller zones within them. I also learned that light penetrates ...
Hmmmm..... I see it here just fine.
Nicely done.
What happened to my reply? When you click on Zones & Trophic levels and then go to the last page, you don't see mine at all, but if you go over to the Latest Activity and hit the "replied" link, you can see it.
During class, we began to talk about seaweed. When Mr. Nash asked if we knew what it felt like, I hadn't, because I'd never really seen seaweed in real life. I've been to an ocean and all, but never been to a spot that wasn't a beach where tons of...
Remember... the trophic pyramid is real. It is just that above coral reefs... it seems to be "inverted." Of course, this cannot be. There is simply no way to consume more than is produced. Thus, we spoke of the trophic pyramid on a coral reef as b...
Again... excellent clarification of some possible confusion between supralittoral... and littoral.

Global study of salmon shows: 'Sustainable' food isn't so sustainable
Popular thinking about how to improve food systems often misses the point, according to the results of a three-year global study of salmon production systems. Rather than pushing for organic or land-based production, or worrying about simple metrics such as "food miles," the study finds that the world can achieve greater environmental benefits by focusing on improvements production and distribution.Penguins and sea lions help produce new atlas
Recording hundreds of thousands of individual uplinks from satellite transmitters fitted on penguins, albatrosses, sea lions, and other marine animals, conservation scientists have released the first-ever atlas of the Patagonian Sea -- a globally important but poorly understood South American marine ecosystem.Marine ecosystems get a climate form guide
The first-ever Australian benchmark of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and options for adaptation is being released. The Marine Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Report Card for Australia, and an accompanying website, will provide a biennial guide for scientists, government and the community on observed and projected impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.Fish food fight: Fish don't eat trees after all, says new study
Recent theories suggesting that half of fishes' food comes from from land-based ecosystems may not hold water. Experiments show that algae, not land-based matter, is needed to build healthy and fertile aquatic organisms.California's ancient kelp forest
The kelp forests off southern California are considered to be some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, yet a new study indicates that today's kelp beds are less extensive and lush than those in the recent past.© 2009 Created by Sean Nash
