MUST – Prepare a case study of a coastal habitat, to include its characteristics, the resulting habitat, the species that inhabit it and reasons why. SHOULD – Identify threats to the survival of the habitat and strategies to ensure its conservation. COULD – Explain how the area could be both used and conserved at the same time (sustainable use of the area).

You have two lessons and a homework to prepare a case study on a coastal habitat (ecosystem). You can work in pairs, but your case study choice will depend upon your target grade. A* + A = Salt Marshes / B + C = Sand Dunes. You should try to include information on: 1.The habitat characteristics.The habitat characteristics. 2.The species that live there and how they have adapted to their environment.The species that live there and how they have adapted to their environment. 3.Threats to the survival of the habitat.Threats to the survival of the habitat. 4.Strategies to ensure its conservation.Strategies to ensure its conservation. 5.Ways that the habitat can be used sustainably.Ways that the habitat can be used sustainably. Resources available: Pg Nelson Thornes (Salt Marshes) Pg Oxbox (Sand Dunes) Handouts (one on each case study).

You can display this in whichever way you choose, but you will have 5 minutes to present your findings to the rest of the group, who will make notes on your case study, using the sheet on the right:
