As you walk on the top of the submarine, you start seeing how this massive machine is built to remain…

From extensive water pollution, America has managed to create an environment that isn’t liveable for marine animal life. This has created short and long-term effects on the ecosystem in the Gulf of Mexico. The hypoxic waters of the Gulf of Mexico dead zone are a short-term effect in its own. The waters in the gulf are perfect condition for phytoplankton blooms. As the conditions are good for the plankton, they grow in large number covering the surface providing food for algae. The remains of…

Despite their lack of a hard shell, the huge adults face fewer serious predators, though they are occasionally overwhelmed and preyed on by very large marine predators such as killer whales, great white sharks, and tiger sharks.
