David Attenborough Documentary Coastal Seas.

Today we watched Our planet Documentary, narrated by David Attenborough, called Coastal Seas. Here are some interesting facts we know:

-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 Trevally and Sting Ray 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 humans in the coastal waters

-The bottle nose dolphin has a special way of hunting shoals of mullet.

-They create a circle around the fish, 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
