Our Sea • When you think of the sea, what do you think of? Do you think of deep waters with many creatures? Do you think of salty waters with beautiful coral? Do you think of free-floating, microscopic plankton and waves? If so, then you hit the money! The sea is a very interesting place with many creatures and plants. Oh, the wonderful sea! layoutsparks.com

We depend on the sea • People depend on many things that live in the ocean. People eat a lot of animals and other things that live in the ocean. Like shellfish, fish and seaweed. The ocean currents affects the climate. So people who live near the coastal waters, Winters aren’t as cold and summers aren’t as hot compared to their inland neighbors. Mmm…Delicious! myclba.com
We depend on the sea • Phytoplankton produces their own food through Photosynthesis as land plants do. During this process, they release the oxygen we depend upon. More than 50% of the oxygen in our atmosphere is produced in the world’s ocean. Phytoplankton up close. en.wikipedia.org
What we can do • Waste pollutes, so pick up after your pet. Waste pollutes water, polluted waters are unhealthy for wildlife. We don’t like to swim in polluted waters, and food from those waters may be unsafe for us to eat. You should help the ocean by picking up trash, as these kids are doing. biomessixth10.wikispaces.com
