- The documentary we watched was filmed in Everglades National Park in Florida, USA.
- The lush meadows of the park support the marine life.
- The Giant Trevally and Stingray are extremely efficient (good) hunters.
- Stingrays hunt for their prey that hide in the seagrass.
- There is a lot of food for the sea creatures, and for humans in the coastal waters.
- The Bottlenose Dolphin has a special way of hunting shoals of mullet. They create a circle around the fish and flick up the mud which 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 - Sharks!
-Shark numbers have been dramatically reduced due to overfishing.
-Overfishing has reduced the shark population by 90%
