What are two features of an estuary that allows large numbers of organisms to live there?
tides that bring in nutrients/food, and brackish (only partly salty) water which allows non-marine things to live there
Marine organisms that are well adapted to drastic changes in salinity would most likely be found in which environment?
Estuaries would be a likely environment for marine organisms well adapted to drastic changes in salinity, as estuaries experience fluctuations in salinity levels due to the mixing of freshwater from rivers and saltwater from the ocean. Organisms in estuarine environments have developed physiological mechanisms to tolerate these changes.
An area where fresh and salt water mix?
An area where fresh and salt water mix is called an estuary. Estuaries are important ecosystems that provide habitat for various species of plants and animals, and they serve as nursery grounds for many marine species. They also help to filter pollutants and protect coastal areas from erosion.
What word describes marine organisms?
Living things that live in seawater.
What is the meaning of marine organisms?
Marine organisms are living organisms that inhabit the oceans and other saltwater bodies. They encompass a wide range of species, from microscopic plankton to large marine mammals, and play crucial roles in marine ecosystems.
Marine organisms that are euryhaline would most likely be found in which environment?
coastal estuary
What is an estuary and why is it important marine organisms?
•An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.
When was Mnazi Bay-Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park created?
Mnazi Bay-Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park was created in 2000.
What does estuarine mean?
The area of an estuary where marine shore animals live.
Which marine layer supports the most life?
The estuary.
Could you Unscramble these letters ausetry for marine ecosystem?
Estuary.
What type of aquatic ecosystems are formed by mixture of salt and fresh water?
Estuaries are aquatic ecosystems formed by the mixture of saltwater from the ocean and freshwater from rivers. They are characterized by fluctuating salinity levels and support a diverse array of plant and animal species. Estuaries are important for nutrient cycling, sediment trapping, and serving as nursery grounds for many marine organisms.
What are the 3 major water biomes?
Freshwater Biomes, Estuary Biomes, and Marine Biomes
What are two features of an estuary that allows large numbers of organisms to live there?

What is referred to as the nursery of the sea?
Coral reefs are often referred to as the "nursery of the sea" because they provide important habitats for a diverse range of marine species during their vulnerable stages of life, such as fish and invertebrates. The complex structure of coral reefs offers protection from predators and a source of food, essential for the survival and growth of young marine organisms.
When fresh and saltwater mix in the marine environment this is called an estuary or brackish water environment why would bottom dwelling organisms in an estuary need to be able to withstand brackish w?
Salt water is heavier than fresh so it will be at the bottom and affect all organisms there, in fact the more saline the water is the heavier it becomes to the point where the fresh will not mix or dilute it but flow over it.
Marine organisms that are well adapted to drastic changes in salinity would most likely be found in which environment?
Estuaries would be a likely environment for marine organisms well adapted to drastic changes in salinity, as estuaries experience fluctuations in salinity levels due to the mixing of freshwater from rivers and saltwater from the ocean.
