This document outlines a research project on ecosystems, detailing aspects such as ecosystem description, biotic and abiotic factors, global location, dominant species, habitat challenges, and human impact. It emphasizes the use of reliable sources and provides guidelines for creating a Google Slide presentation with specific formatting requirements and a due date of August 19th. The project encourages exploration of marine ecosystems and includes tips for successful completion.
