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

• The Future: Salinity changes
disrupt marine ecosystems
More research needed to broaden our analysis
