David Attenborough Documentary Coastal seas

 Today we watched the our planet Documentary, narrated by David Attenborough, called Coastal seas. here are some interesting facts we learn:
90 percent of marine creatures live in coastal waters. This is because the sea floor is in reach of the sunlight.  The documentary we watched was filmed in the Everglades National Park in Florida, USA . the lush meadows of the park support the marine life . - the Giant Trevalley and sting rays are extremely good hunters..Stingrays hunt for their prey that hide in the sea grass. - there is a lot of food for the sea creatures and for the humans in the coastal waters. - The bottle nose dolphin has a special way of hunting shoals of mullet. Makes the water murky- the mullet then get confused and jump up in the air, making it easy for the dolphins to catch the mullet. - Coral reefs make up less than 1% of all the marine species that live in the Ocean .Coral reefs are missing an important member of the community - shark?Sharks number have been dramatically reduced due to over fishing. - over fishing has reduced the shark population by 90%.
