1 Coral Reef Where are the coral reef biomes?
Underwater near the coast lines Description Warm Near the shore to allow sunlight to penetrate

2 Temperature and Nutrients
Average temperature °F ( °C) Dissolved nutrients Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide

3 Plants Kelp Algae Phytoplankton Sea grass

4 Plant Adaptation Live underwater Extract carbon dioxide from water

5 Animals Tropical fish Sharks Octopus Sea urchins Crabs Lobster Coral
Anemones Starfish

6 Animal Adaptations Live in or take shelter inside coral
Live underwater Live in warm water Withstand tides Brightly colored camouflage

7 Humans and Biodiversity
Humans do not live here but we visit Biodiversity rating is a 9

8 Abiotic Factors Water temperature Dissolved gases Tides

9 Food Chain Algae Coral Fish Shark

10 Other Interesting Facts
Home to many endangered species because of water pollution The great barrier reef can be seen from space
