| Summary |
This program looks at how mangroves have adapted to their wet, salty, tidal environment. We find that mangroves are also essential for many creatures like prawns, crabs and fish. They grow up here as there are lots of places to hide in the tangle of roots, stems and branches. When they are bigger and stronger, they go out into the ocean. If mangroves disappeared so would many sea creatures. But for Tyson and Jacoby, mangroves are special because they are a place where they go with their dad to collect oysters, which they love to eat raw, or lightly cooked on the barbecue.This series of four programs for lower primary science aims to increase an understanding and appreciation of various aspects of the sea.Different shorelines and depths of the sea are examined as places to have fun, as places to find food, and as places which support a great diversity of life that has adapted to the different environments |
