Transcript Coastal Habitats

MUST – Prepare a case study of a coastal habitat, to include its characteristics, the
resulting habitat, the species that inhabit it and reasons why.
SHOULD – Identify threats to the survival of the habitat and strategies to ensure its
conservation.
COULD – Explain how the area could be both used and conserved at the same time
(sustainable use of the area).
You have two lessons and a homework to prepare a case study on a coastal habitat
(ecosystem). You can work in pairs, but your case study choice will depend upon
your target grade. A* + A = Salt Marshes / B + C = Sand Dunes. You should try to
include information on:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The habitat characteristics.
The species that live there and how they have adapted to their environment.
Threats to the survival of the habitat.
Strategies to ensure its conservation.
Ways that the habitat can be used sustainably.
Resources available:
• Pg 167 - 169 Nelson Thornes (Salt Marshes)
• Pg 158 + 159 Oxbox (Sand Dunes)
• Handouts (one on each case study).

COULD – Explain how the area could be both used and conserved at the same time
(sustainable use of the area).
You can display this in whichever way you
choose, but you will have 5 minutes to present
your findings to the rest of the group, who will
make notes on your case study, using the sheet
on the right:
