Sea Grass • Sea grass looks like normal plants. • They live in the sea, and take energy from the sun. • They are very flexible and bend with any water movement.
Phytoplankton - They look like a germ. - They live in the water. - They eat nutrients. - The phytoplankton need nutrients and appropriate water temperature to survive.
Sea Turtle • Sea turtles look much like any other turtle, but sea turtles are larger than land turtles and have feet that are flipper-like to allow them to swim with ease. • They live in the coral reef. • Sea turtles are reptiles. • They have cold blood. • Sea turtles eat clams, shrimps, and jellyfish.
