Coral Reef Relationships
Explore everything from sharks to sea anemones in Shedd Aquarium's reef ecosystem exhibits. Students will identify and examine critical relationships in a coral reef ecosystem and explain how animals use the reef to meet their needs. Students will collect data to analyze biodiversity within a habitat of their choice and use this information to understand the importance of coral reef conservation in the wild.
