FINAL PERFORMANCE TASK- ADAPTATIONS OF MARINE CREATURE INTRODUCTION Unit 3-Natural Selection GOAL Big Idea • The survival of living organisms are dependent upon their adaptations and ability to respond to natural changes in and human influences on the environment. • Natural selection acting over time leads to the increase of some traits over others in a population. Essential Questions • How is the survival of species and their ability to adapt affected by natural and human made influences on the environment? • How is natural selection connected to the idea of marine animal adaptations? GOAL • Your goal is to design an E-Letter that promote an exhibit that will educate visitors about the adaptations of marine creatures in a particular ocean or coastline habitat. • You also must explain to what extend an organism will adapt their identities and relationships in response to changes in their environment. This should help them understand how the adaptations increase animals' survival and chances of reproducing in this habitat. • It should also educate them on how the concept of natural selection is connected to the development of adaptations. Additionally, if you select a coastline you will want to pick a specific area (i.e. temperate coastline, Arctic, etc.) . • Explain how responses to changes can vary but there is also a relationship between the organisms' function and their interaction within an environment . ROLE • You are a marine biologist who works for a large aquarium. You and your team have been asked to design a new interactive exhibit that will highlight marine creatures from a particular habitat and their adaptations. AUDIENCE • Your audience will be a wide variety of people who will be visiting the coastal aquarium. They will be visiting to be entertained by and learn about the creatures. One specific audience you will need to consider will be elementary school students who often visit as part of a school field trip. SITUATION • A large aquarium is interested in creating a new exhibit will highlight the many adaptations that marine creatures have that enable them to survive within their habitat. Your products will need to help educate visitors related to these adaptations and how they specifically help the creatures. You will also want to connect the adaptation to the specific environment you have selected to highlight within the exhibit. Also discuss how human activities affect habitats and how that will impact adaptation of aquatic organisms. PRODUCT, PERFORMANCE AND PURPOSE • Create a feature story with visuals (E-newsletter) to let people know about the habitat, creatures, and exhibit that contain the following: • Explain a problem or question that you formulated about the adaptation of aquatic organisms to their environment and the effect of change because of human activities. • Use the evidence in the case study to construct your explanation. • Two pages E-Newsletter including visuals. • Provide a scientifically valid reason why and how these adaptations increase animals' survival and chances of reproducing in this habitat shown to be essential. • Identify Natural Selection five conditions to occur. • Identify the factors that caused the change in the population and provide reasoning for the predicted change. • Explain how responses to changes can vary but there is also a relationship between the organisms’ function and their interaction within an environment. PRODUCT ENEWSLETTER: • The coastal aquarium has many supporters. These people receive communications regarding aquarium events through email and an electronic newsletter. The next newsletter is scheduled to be distributed in coordination with the unveiling of your new exhibit. The aquarium management team has asked you to create a feature story with visuals to let people know about the habitat, creatures, and exhibit. This story should not be more than two pages including visuals.

Explanation & Answer

View attached explanation and answer. Let me know if you have any questions.Good day, student. I provided and followed what the rubric says. The instruction says that you need to design an E-letter that promotes an exhibit that will educate visitors about the adaptation of marine creatures. On the first page, I enumerated and explain three human activities that can lead to change in an aquatic environment, and how they adapt to changes in their environment, and also provided organisms adapting to such change in the environment. And on the second page, I explain the different types of adaptation within an aquatic population under normal circumstances, implications of human impact, and applied scientific knowledge. I also cited the references in MLA format at the bottom part of the second page. Hope this help you, thanks!

CORAL MINING

School in great numbers at Rapture Reef, French Frigate Shoals, Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Monument (James Watt)

Did you know that?
Corals are often referred to as the “rainforests of the
sea”. According to National Oceanic Atmospheric
Administration, 25% of the ocean’s fish depends on
healthy coral reefs. They protect coastlines from
storms and erosion, and to human serve as sources of
food, jobs and livelihood. It has provided economic
benefits but some humans are irresponsible and
became greedy, blasting massive areas of coral reef
with dynamite leading to loss of fish habitat. Fishes like
coral-reef fish and algae adapt by changing behavior
and relocating to cooler parts of the ocean. Coral reefs
expels algae when stressed which causes corals to
completely turn white.

PLASTIC POLLUTION
According to University of the Sunshine Coast marine biologist
“Even a single piece of plastic can kill a turtle”. Marine animals
including seabirds, fishes, whales and turtles mistake plastic
waste for prey since it can look like a jellyfish or algae. Marine
animals especially sea turtles are unable to adapt and ingests
them which can stunt their growth, slow reproduction rates,
suffocation and entanglement of this animals.

OVERFISHING & BY CATCH
When we say overfishing it means that a
mass number of fish are remove from the
environment faster than they can
reproduce, while by catch happens when
larger fish or mammals are caught in a
large net such as dolphins, sharks,
stingrays or sea lions. Some of them do not
release it, are sold or disposed. These can
lead to high extinction of fishes.

Monthly E-Letter

Some of fishes can adapt to overfish and
by catch. Many fish have color patterns
that can help them blend in with their
enviro...
