Ocean Resource ListStart a list of resources we receive from
our oceans and add to it throughout the lesson:
Intertidal ZoneShoreline area that falls between the high tide and low tide mark.
Life in the Intertidal ZoneAnimals in this area are able to adapt to being both underwater and in open air
Common life forms include:
CrabsUrchinsStarfishClamsSnailsMussels
Neritic ZoneThe ocean zone that slopes down from the shoreline towards the ocean floor.
Life in the Neritic ZoneAnimals in the
Neritic Zone have access to both shallow and deeper water. The life in this zone is very diverse!
Common life forms in the Neritic Zone:
Sea Turtles DolphinsSeals
Oceanic ZoneThe oceanic zone is made up of the open waters of the ocean
Life in the Oceanic ZoneMarine life varies
greatly due to the changes in depth…
What are the challenges to life as the water gets deeper?
Common Life Forms:WhalesSharksSquidAngler Fish (deep)
Intertidal zone
Neritic zone Oceanic zone
Marine Ecosystems:Within these zones
are many different and separate ecosystems.
Coral ReefsExtremely diverse ecosystems that need very specific conditions to survive. “The Rainforest of the Ocean”
EstuaryAn area where fresh water from a river mixes into the salt water of the ocean
Estuary DemoSalt Water is denser than freshwater therefore it does not fully mix…watch what happens in our mini estuary
Kelp ForestsLarge underwater forests of brown algae that provide a habitat for animals and many resources for humans

Salt MarshesA transitional area between land and water that acts like a filter for pollution
Mangrove ForestsA transitional area between land and water in tropical areas that transfer energy from land to sea through the food chain
Tide PoolSmall habitats on shore that are underwater at high tide and exposed to air at low tide
Back to Ocean Resources…Have you added anything to your list?
