David Attenborough Documentary Coastal Seas

Today we watched the Our planet Documentary, narrated by David Attenborough, called coastal Seas. Here are some interesting facts we learn 

• 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 catch the mullet.
• Coral reefs make up less than 1% of all the marine species that live in the ocean.

Coral reefs are missing an important member of the community 

Sharks!

• Shark numbers have been dramatically reduced due to overflowing,
• Overfishing has reduced the shark population by 90%
