OCEAN ECOSYSTEM

What is it?• The kenjeran ocean is located in around Surabaya. 80 percent of life are found in the ocean. For years we always litter in the ocean. Now as the ocean gets more warmer and acidic they face new problem.

• Place: kenjeran beach

Component of the ocean

Biotic Abiotic

Shrimps Rocks

Small fishes Corals

squids Sands

Jelly fish Water

Turtle

crabs

Interdependent happen • Living-non-living

The animal in the ocean depend on the ocean to live.

Fishes are camouflaged to the coral reef for protection• Living-living

A green turtle is cleaned by several fish. Many species act as a cleaners in group and sometimes alone.

A cleaner shrimps is the dental hygienist for moray eel.

A hermit crab has covered its shell home with small sea anemones. The crab gains protection and the anemones gain more flow to carry their food their way.

Problem happen• For many years people are riding boats to travel to somewhere and for carrying heavy loads. It makes the ocean get polluted and dirty because of rubbish. Many of the boats carry oil and spills in the ocean that make the species that live in the ocean die.• People (fisherman) are fishing for shrimps and other animal that make the population nearly extinct. (illegal fishing)

Possible action • Don’t eat seafood to much

We will protect the population of the fish and also protect the coral reefs.• Stop using plastic

If we stop using plastic bag you will decrease marine litter and protect coral reefs. Replace the plastic things in your life and change them with other material like glass, woods or canvas bag. Recycle all plastic.• Make less waste

You will decrease marine litter and protect coral reefs. Buy items with less packaging. Buy milk in recyclable cartons not in plastic bag. Use cloth bags or metal container.

Possible action 1• Shop locally

If you can, buy food from local farm shops and try to avoid imported goods. Truck, boats and plane bringing food and stuff from other countries, or from distance a part your country, use huge amount of fuel and polluting the air

• The kenjeran beach is full of rubbish and dirty because of

• Industrial waste• House waste• And waste from tourism and fisherman

Food chain

• Interdependent between human and other living things

Humans depend on fish to sell and get money also to eat.• Interdependent between human and other non living

things

Humans depend on the ocean water for their everyday need / daily need, (for washing dishes, washing clothes and etc)

Problem I focus on is throwing rubbish in the oceanIn past time, It was the big and beautiful beach. But, now in there, we just meet a lot tourist and people who ignored the morality standard in this country. People are busy doing their activity without being caring with their surroundings.
