Where do Stingrays live and what is there food web?


The stingray has a long whip-like tail with a stiff spike.
If annoyed it will whip and sting its opponent.

They eat shrimps and other small
animals that live in the sand.

Some stingrays can grow to six feet!

Where is a Manatee on the Marine food Web?


My inquiry question is "Where is a manatee on the marine food web?". So far I have found that manatees and dudongs are among the only mammals to eat mostly plants. I say mostly because sometimes when manatees are eating sea grass, they sometimes accidentally slurp up snails that are living in the sea grass. This gives the manatees extra protein. Sometimes manatees are mistaken for mermaids! -Chapin

One Ocean - It Starts With Me

This week is Sea Week! The slogan is One Ocean It Start`s With Me. I think this means if nobody act`s quickly and helps to clean up and keep the ocean in a tidy state then the ocean will become a polluted lifeless place. We all have to do our bit, don`t wait start now!!!
