The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica and has a unique ecology. It has a circumpolar coastline of around 18,000 km and covers an area twice the size of the United States. The Antarctic continental shelf is unusually deep due to isostatic depression and ice scour. The Antarctic icepack grows seasonally to a maximum of around 18.8 million square km in September. The benthic ecology of Antarctica is unusual in that there are no predatory fish, crabs, lobsters, sharks or rays. The top predators are slow moving invertebrates like sea stars and ribbon worms. Dense populations of suspension feeding invertebrates create habitat for other fauna. Climate change poses a serious threat to

Classification of marine environment pptAshish sahu
The main divisions of the marine environment. The two primary divisions of the sea are the benthic and the pelagic. The former includes all of the ocean floor, while the latter includes the whole mass of water. ... The deep-sea system is divided into an upper (archibenthic) and a lower (abyssal-benthic) zone.
Introduction, Models, Types of estuaries on the basis of origin; Salinity condition or freshwater discharge; Circulation; Estuaries in India; Estuaries as ecosystem; Why are estuaries important; Threats ;How can we help to protect them; Conclusion.
The Estuarine System consists of deepwater tidal habitats and adjacent tidal wetlands that are usually semienclosed by land but have open, partly obstructed, or sporadic access to the open ocean, and in which ocean water is at least occasionally diluted by freshwater runoff from the land. The salinity may be periodically increased above that of the open ocean by evaporation. Along some low-energy coastlines there is appreciable dilution of sea water. Offshore areas with typical estuarine plants and animals, such as red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) and eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica), are also included in the Estuarine System.

“Me parece importante esa función del tutor de animar, motivar la participación, la interacción entre los participantes, para que realmente sea una aprendizaje en una web que sea social, y no individual. También he tenido la experiencia de 10 cursos online en los que he participado, y solo en uno ha existido real interacción entre todos, participación, construcción del conocimiento con el aporte de todos. Los otros nueve son proyectados como cursos individuales por más participante que haya.”
“No hemos compartido nuestra docencia en la enseñanza tradicional. Muchos no han sido tutores, solo han impartido contenidos de una asignatura y por último, la Web2.0 puede ser algo desconocido o poco manejado.”

Antarctica- Icy wilderness of extremes and wondertahreemzahra82
In this presentation, we delve into the captivating realm of Antarctica, Earth's southernmost continent. This icy wilderness stands as a testament to extremes, with record-breaking cold temperatures and vast expanses of pristine ice. Antarctica's landscape is dominated by towering glaciers, colossal icebergs, and expansive ice shelves. Yet, amidst this frozen expanse, a rich tapestry of unique wildlife thrives, including penguins, seals, and seabirds, all finely attuned to survive in this harsh environment. Beyond its natural wonders, Antarctica also serves as a vital hub for scientific exploration, providing invaluable insights into climate change and the Earth's history
A study on the biodiversity of snake island in South Andaman - JBESInnspub Net
Snake Island is an uninhabited small rocky islet off Carbyn’s Cove in Port Blair, Andaman. The biodiversity of this rocky island is its distinctive feature as it becomes a small habitat for various organisms close to the open sea. During this present study a total no. of 217 species were recorded out of which 205 has been identified. Pisces was the dominant group, followed by cnidarians, molluscs, arthropods etc. The island is highly influenced by sea water as during high tides nearly 75 % of the island is submerged by seawater. This is the reason of dominance of marine organisms (94 %) over terrestrial organisms (6 %) in the island. Another characteristic feature of the island is the formation of numerous rocky and sandy water channels and the presence of a ‘coral pool’ at the end of one such channel on the north-eastern part of the island. During high tide these channels are filled with water and exchange of seawater takes place in the coral pool, where highest diversity of species was observed. Lack of intertidal species in the island is evident due to the high action of waves from the open sea and lack of hiding areas other than rocky crevices.

Insular (isolated) fauna is the animal biodiversity of islands. This is a brief outline of the fauna of several islands, spread throughout the world, and divided into three categories: continental islands, oceanic islands, and ancient islands.

4. The Southern ocean
The Southern Ocean has the unique distinction of being a
large circumpolar body of water totally encircling the
continent of Antarctica; this ring of water lies between 60
degrees south latitude and the coast of Antarctica and
encompasses 360 degrees of longitude
20.327 million sq km - slightly more than twice the size of
the US
Coastline - 17,968 km
The Southern Ocean is deep, 4,000 to 5,000 m over most
of its extent with only limited areas of shallow water;
Much is deep seafloor with generally unknown fauna.
he Antarctic continental shelf is generally narrow and
unusually deep, its edge lying at depths of 400 to 800 m
(the global mean is 133 m)
Continental shelf is unusually deep due to isostatic
depression and ice scour.
The Antarctic icepack grows from an average minimum
of 2.6 million sq km in March to about 18.8 million sq km in
September, better than a sixfold increase in area
8. Benthic Ecology of the Antartic
A critical feature: absence of
durophagous predators – fish and
decapod – no brachyuran crabs, lobsters,
sharks, or rays, low diversity of skates, and
only 2 common clades of teleosteans
(nototheniods and liparids).
9. Wedell seals eat mostly free
swimming prey – no
equivalent to the walrus or
gray whales of the Arctic.
Functionally Paleozoic with
slow moving invertebrate top
predators including asteroids
and nemerteans
And dense and large areas of
epifaunal suspension feeders
populations.
Functionally archaic does not
mean the organisms are not
as evolved.
