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!

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.

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