Tiger shark

Scientific name: Galeocerdo cuvier
These sharks are found in deep water but also in shallow water. Lately they have been migrating towards the shore. They like to eat seals and are usually never hunted but sometimes killed by killer whales or humans. Tiger sharks can eat anything which helps them a lot. They also like to swim alone. Tiger sharks are very aggressive and are known as the "garbage can of the sea". Three interesting facts would be that they can be up to 16ft long. Can weigh up to 3,360 lbs. females mate once every three years. These sharks are not endangered because they are at the top of the food chain.

Bob Ballard

The five things that I didn't know is

1. 50% of the US is under water

2. Ocean is 12,000 ft

3. Most of our planet doesn't see the sun

4. Thousands of volcanoes are under the ocean

5. The most volcanoes that erupt are under the ocean

He thinks it's important because we need to know what we are dealing with, because most of our world is covered with it.

The main point was because he wanted to get people educated about the whole ocean and for people to be aware.

Posters over plant

Purple loosestrife is a very invasive plant.

It stops water flow and the life flow of the animals in streams is greatly affected. The only way to get rid of them is using chemical and physical mechanisms. You can also remove by hand but most likely you won't get rid of it.

Golden algae

The golden algae is characterized by it being gold, it travels in groups and is found in fresh water. It derived from a source that can not photosynthesize. The algae releases toxins that are harmful to gill breathing animals. It doesn't effect humans or animals without gills. Once it effects the fish they will die soon after.

Dragon fly (aquatic insect)

The dragonfly's scientific name is Anisoptera. The habitat for these animals is around large bodies of water. They like to be around lakes, ponds, and rivers. The insects reproduce very fast. They only live 1 month so they reproduce fast. They eat small insects. And lizards and frogs eat them. The biggest dragonfly known is to have 19 cm. long wings. There is over 5,000 species of dragonflies. Dragonflies can fly up to 38 mph.
