David Attenborough Documentary on Coastal Seas
Today we watched our planet Documentary, narrated by david attenbrough, called coastal seas. Here are some interesting facts we learnt:
-90 percent of marine creatures live in coastal waters. This is because the sea floor is in
reach of the sunlight.
-The documentary we watched was filmed in the Everglades National Park, in florida USA
-The lush meadows of the park support the marine life.
-The giant trevally and sting ray are extremely good hunters.
-stingrays hunt for their prey that hide in the seagrass.
-There is a lot of food for the sea creatures, and for humans in the coastal waters.
-The bottlenose dolphin has a special way of hunting shoals of mullet.
-They create a circle around the fish and flick up the mud which makes the water murky - the mullet then get confused and jump up in the air, making it easy for the dolphins to coach the mullet .
-Coral reefs make up less than 1% of all the marine species that live in the ocean
-Coral reefs are missing of the community - sharks!
-sharks numbers have been dramatically reduced due to overfishing
-Overfishing has reduced the shark population by 90%
