Function of Wetlands absorb and remove pollutants, trap carbon, control floods
Estuaries receive nutrients from oceans and rivers, damaged by the amount of pollution, both fresh and salt water, changes in salinity
Coastal pollution industrial waste and sewage
Swamps flat poorly drained land
Marine organisms most found in shallow coastal waters
Rivers on flatter ground they widen, warm, and slow,move faster and increase oxygen levels as they near the ocean
Threats to the ocean nutrient runoff, industrial waste, overfishing, sewage, algal blooms
Lakes and ponds organisms depend on sunlight, nutrients, temperature
Littoral zone life is diverse, found near the shore

Mangrove swamp dominated by marsh grasses
Deep ocean no sunlight for photosynthesis

Salinity amount of dissolved salts in water
Ocean pollution traced back to land
Plankton zooplankton and phytoplankton

Swamp wetland dominated by woody plants
