Coasts
Wildlife
Many
animals live on typical coasts. There are animals such as sea turtles, fish,
penguins and puffins. Sea snails and various types of crustaceans live on the
coast and scavenge food deposited by the ocean.
Most costal
animals are used to humans in developed areas, such as dolphins and seagulls,
which feed on hand-drawn food. Many types of seabirds and sea lions also live
in this ecosystem.
Flora
The coastal
areas are famous for their kelp beds. Kelp is a seaweed that grows rapidly, up
to 1 meter per day. Corals and sea anemones are animals, but they live in a
plant-like lifestyle.
Mangroves,
halophyte plants (which tolerate salt) and seagrass beds are types of coastal vegetation
in tropical and temperate environments.
