Reef Food Webs Reef IQ Program

Reef Food Webs A food chain shows the transfer of energy (food) between animals and plants. For example a simple food chain might show an arrow going from grass to a cow to a human, demonstrating who eats what. A food web shows many different food chains interlinked. The following shows how quite a complex food web is constructed using the marine organisms you have been studying.
