  1. An Ocean in Trouble:How Salinity Changes Affect Aquatic Life Cluster 3 Sarah Fox, Christopher Ho, Mackenzie Lighterink, and Allison Vu

  2. Project Summary -Ice melt, rising ocean levels, and changes in precipitation cause salinity fluctuation -Experiments conducted to see effects of salinity changes: -Results support hypothesis of salinity changes affects water-based ecosystems http://gardenpool.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Duckweed-AQ-IALG.jpg

  3. Pachygrapsus Crabs

  4. Lemna Minor (Duckweed)

  5. So What Does This Mean? • Organisms cannot osmoregulate • The Future: • Salinity changes disrupt marine ecosystems • More research needed to broaden our analysis http://bio1152.nicerweb.com/Locked/media/ch44/44_03OsmoregulationB.jpg
