with small species that help maintain the support the quality of the ocean water and a healthy living environment. Impact on Ocean Trophic Levels Sharks are indirectly correlated with coral reefs and the health of our waters. A decrease in their population would result in a hindrance of trophic levels, straining the overall health and regulation of the ocean ecosystem. Being an apex predator, sharks are species that have the highest trophic level and have the ability to structure the food web…

This philosophy is key in Climate Capitalism by Hunter Lovins and in Time to Choose by Charles Ferguson. Both illustrate the…

We are given the question which factors affect the stability of a Predator-Prey Population. Our goal is to find what factors could change a species population. A stable ecosystem means that a plant or animal does not overpopulate or underpopulate.. If the ecosystem is unstable, then a specie will grow largely, and another one would grow small. Our group collected how the population changed overtime and see if one specie goes extinct in our experiment. We put the experiment on a specific time…
