Symbiotic Relationships

• Mutualism is when it benefits both species.
• Examples
• The Minnow and the Mangroves because the Minnow
  eats the Alga off the Mangroves and the Mangroves
  dont choke.
• Communaslism is when it helps one partner but
  dose nothing to the other.
• Examples
• The Barracuda and the Snapper, the Barracuda eats
  the Snapper and the Snapper dies.
• Parasitism is when the relationship benefits the
  parasites and dose definite damage to the host.
• Example
• The Crab and the Clam because the Crab makes a
  hole in the Calms shell and sucks out the clam.

Factors that make this Site Unique

• Water Signs
• In the Ocean
• You need a boat to get there
• Lots of Mangroves ( at least 1-5 acres of them)
• Its a Beach in the Ocean

14
Limiting Factor (s)

• Depending on how much open space there is
  depends on how many fish get protected for bigger
  fish/predators.
• Space between Mangrove roots. If the space is
  really big then the bigger fish can get in and
  get food. But if the space is small they wont be
  open to as much food.
• Depth of water. If the water is low then there
  wont be a lot of Mangroves or little fish to
  hide in making a lot of the fish have to hide in
  the roots at the bottom where big fish can get
  in.
