How is the Coastal Road impacting the Marine Life?

 Hi. Did you know that there is a Coastal road being built in Mumbai? I know, this road will make things much easier, but don't you think we humans are being greedy and selfish? The Coastal road is also impacting the marine life, which is bad for our environment.

Facts on the Coastal road:

1. The vibrations from the drilling and land refill have driven fish away.

2. We have already lost fish breeding spots.

3. The construction activities damage fragile coastal ecosystems.

4. Activists believe the project will harm the ecology.

What are biomes?

 Hi everyone! Did you research on what are biomes? Well, if you did, amazing! But, if you didn't, here it is!

A biome is a way to describe a group of similar ecosystems. Biomes have similar weather, rainfall, animals and plants. There are 2 types of biomes:Land and aquatic biomes.

Facts on biomes:

Aquatic biomes  are probably the most important of all the biomes. Their medium, water, is a major natural resource. Water is the basis of life, it supports life, and countless species live in it for all or part of their lives. 

The forest is the largest and most complex terrestrial biome. 


The tundra  is the coldest of all the biomes.  

 

The hardest biome to survive in is the desert because humans need so much water so surviving in deserts is very difficult.
