Profile Marine Organism: Its hard to choose just one, for all marine organisms are amazing in their own ways. Rather than choosing one organism, I choose an ecosystem: the kelp forest.

The kelp forest is a perfect example of life in balance.

The kelp grows by feeding off of nutrients in the water and sunlight from above;

provides protection for many types of animals such as kelp crab, rockfish, and invertebrates;

kelp occupants act as food for larger organisms such as fish, birds, and marine mammals;

kelp act as food for organisms such as abalone and sea urchins;

marine mammals such as sea otters maintain the health of the kelp forest by feeding on those that feed on kelp, preventing kelp destruction.

All organisms play important and specific roles in their ecosystems to maintain the overall biodiversity.

Amazing stuff.

Ocean Parcel: "Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean."

The ocean that I call home is Monterey Bay. It is one of the most unique, lively, and beautiful places that I have ever been. Living near this coast has been the best part of my life so far.
