Overview
Describe the characteristics of marine habitats. Describe the pattern of distribution of plants and animals in marine habitats, noting the dominant ones. Recognise some adaptive features of the plants and animals in the habitats. Infer the food chain of the organisms. Determine some of the physical factors e.g. temperature, relative humidity, light, wind and pH.
