OCEAN HABITATS

By Sara Schoenhals Martinez

The important thing about the ocean is that it is the habitat, or home, for many living things.

• The earth has five oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern.

• Oceans cover over 70 percent of the earth’s surface.

• Oceans are filled with living things that depend on each other for survival.

But the important thing about the ocean is that it is the habitat, or home, for many living things.

• Mammals live in the ocean.

• Mammals breathe air through their lungs, have hair or fur, drink their mothers’ milk, and give birth to live babies.

• Marine mammals are warm blooded and have a layer of fat called blubber that helps keep them warm.

Narrative Input

Let the Adventure Begin: The Journey of A Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Adapted from Into the Sea by Brenda Z. Guiberson

Adapted by Sara Schoenhals Martinez and copyright permission to reprint granted by Sara Schoenhals Martinez

Tap, tap, pop! The tiny loggerhead sea turtle is the last hatching to break out of her leathery egg. In the moonlight the Pacific Ocean glistens and beckons to her. Myka’s eyes grow wide with excitement! “Let the adventure begin!” she calls out and quickly pulls herself toward the water.

A hungry crab watches Myka from his rocky habitat on the beach. He scurries across the sand in hopes of a tasty breakfast. “Wait for me! It’s time for my breakfast!” But a wave catches Myka and carries her away to safety, just in time.

Myka laughs as the waves carry her out into her new ocean home, or habitat. Instinctively, the baby sea turtle knows now to use her flippers to paddle and dive beneath the surface. Her eye sight is much better in the water. As the sun comes up she peers under the water and sees a starfish and a hungry barracuda. However, they don’t see her. Her white underside blends in with the shimmering white surface of the ocean and provides countershading. In the same way, her dark carapace, or shell, camouflages her from the hungry seagulls looking down at the dark ocean from above.

Rumble, grumble, rumble. Myka’s stomach is growling for food. Just ahead is a patch of sargassum weed that looks yummy. “Let the adventure begin!” Myka calls out as she chops down on her first bite of food with the sharp ridges in her jaw. For the next several months, Myka lives in the sargassum weed, eating the seaweed and plankton. It’s just the right habitat for a baby sea turtle and provides food and shelter as Myka grows bigger and stronger.

Myka soon moves out into the warm tropical waters of the sea. It’s a colorful habitat filled with sponges, sea anemones, tube worms, starfish and sea life. Here the sunlight reaches all the way to the ocean floor and provides lots of light for plants to grow. This tropical paradise is a perfect habitat for a growing loggerhead sea turtle with lots of places to hide and food to eat.

Over time, Myka develops strong muscles and can swim four times faster than a human. She is now several years old and one of the largest creatures in the sea. Myka is finally big enough to eat fish, jellyfish, squid and even octopus. She still has to watch out for hungry sharks! One shark swims dangerously close and calls out, “Wait for me! You look delicious!” Myka uses her strong flippers and moves off into a warm current that begins to take her far away from the tropical ocean shelf and into the open ocean.

This is a new ocean habitat, where the water is so deep sunlight cannot reach the bottom and seaweed cannot grow. But courageous Myka swims forward calling out, “Let the adventure begin!” In the open ocean, there aren’t nearly as many fish or sea animals. But Myka floats along happily, with new friends like the remora fish attached to her underside and a tired bird who lands on her carapace and rests its wings.

At 300 pounds Myka is now a full grown loggerhead sea turtle. She has now almost crossed the entire Pacific Ocean. Her body begins to grow eggs inside and she knows it’s time to return to the beach where she was born. This means she has to swim across the whole ocean again! Myka just laughs and calls out, “Let the adventure begin!”

What an adventure it is. Myka sees a fishing boat coming her direction and dives deep under the water. She can swim underwater for up to 6 hours without taking a breath. But after a few hours she decided to come back up for the sun. “Look out!” cries a humpback whale nearby. But Myka doesn’t hear and becomes trapped in a fishing net. She tries to swim away but her flippers keep getting tangled in the ropes. Finally, after much struggling, Myka finds an escape door at the bottom of the net and escapes. This is not the kind of adventure she wanted! Soon she makes it back to the surface of the water, taking in big gulps of fresh air.

By now it’s been almost 30 years since Myka has been swimming in the sea. Finally, she is back near the shore where she was born. It’s the same beach where her mother, and grandmother and great grandmother began their lives too. As the darkness covers the beach, Myka slowly and awkwardly pulls her giant body up the sand.

Finding a good spot on the sand, Myka takes a big breath and begins to dig. Whoosh, scrape, whoosh. It’s hard work but Myka doesn’t complain. She knows this is just another part of the adventure. She works for 3 hours, scooping out a hole for her body. In the hole, Myka lays over 100 eggs. Then she covers the eggs back up with sand so they will be protected for the next 2 months until the baby loggerhead sea turtles are ready to hatch.

Finally, Myka turns her huge body back toward the Pacific Ocean. It’s been an exciting 30 years of her life. But Myka knows there are more adventures ahead. And so, Myka begins heading back to the amazing ocean she calls her habitat. As she pulls herself to the water, she lifts her head high and cries out, “Let the adventure begin!”

Whales Here, Whales There

Whales here, whales there,

Whales, whales everywhere!

Curious whales skyhopping.

Playful whales breaching.

Noisy whales lobtailing.

Motionless whales logging.

Whales in every ocean.

Whales near the coast.

Whales far from shore.

Whales among their pods.

Whales here, whales there,

I Know A Porcelain Crab

I know a porcelain crab,

a tiny porcelain crab,

a tiny porcelain crab,

With two snapping claws.

And six walking legs,

two long antennae,

a hard exoskeleton

And a shell called a carapace.

I know a porcelain crab,

a tiny porcelain crab,

a tiny porcelain crab,

Who lives under rocks.

Crustacean Bugaloo

I'm a crustacean and I'm here to say

I have appendages and that's OK.

Some I use to swim, and some I use to eat

And some I use to keep the ocean beat.

Crab, krill, lobster, too

Doing the crustacean BUGALOO!

I look very strange with my jointed legs

But I stick with glue to my hard, round eggs.

My exoskeleton's hard and firm

My gills take air when I twist and squirm.

Crab, krill, lobster, too

Doing the crustacean BUGALOO!

Next time you're in a tidepool shallow and neat

Look for crustaceans with the ocean beat.

Crab, krill, lobster, too

Doing the crustacean BUGALOO!

Marine Cadence

We just know what we've been told,

Oceanography's worth its weight in gold,

We study here, we study there,

Oceanographers study everywhere.

Sound off ...........oceanography!

Sound off ...........marine biology!

Sound off 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 look down!

We study fish and plankton, too.

To save them is our job to do.

At every depth there are a lot.

Some are strange and some are not.

Sound off ...........oceanography!

Sound off ...........marine biology!

Sound off 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 look down!

I'm microscopic,

The Cradle of Life

I'm concerned about the lowly oyster

and others of his kind,

pollution fills their shells these days

and leaves no pearly shine.

I'm concerned about the octopus,

shy monster of the deep,

whose black ink tries to hide him

as he jets up cliffs so steep.

I'm concerned about the salmon

trying to spawn,

but progress, dams and fishing hooks

leave little for the dawn.

I'm concerned about the dolphins,

friend of man from times long past,

playful, loyal and in danger,

nets of fishermen hold them fast.

I'm concerned about the whales

gentle giants of the sea,

no longer is their ocean

a place where they can be.

I'm concerned about the ocean,

known as cradle of all life,

will pollution, greed and unconcern,

mean the end of ocean life?

Ocean Animal Food Chain

(Tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider)

Itsy, bitsy plankton

Floating in the sea.

Along comes the krill

And eats it easily.

Next comes the tuna fish

Who’s eaten by the seal.

The Great White Shark

Then finishes up the meal!

~ La Habra City School District

I Know a Seahorse

I know a tiny seahorse,

a teeny, tiny seahorse,

a teeny, tiny seahorse,

With a long thin snout.

And a prehensil tail,

small bony rings,

a fast dorsal tail,

And babies in his pouch.

I know a tiny seahorse,

a teeny, tiny seahorse,

a teeny, tiny seahorse,

Who swims in the seaweed.

Cetacean Bugaloo

I'm a Cetacean

and I'm here to say

I blow bubbles all the day.

Some I use to sing.

Some I use to squeak.

Some I use to keep the ocean beat.

Squeak, whistle, gurgle too,

A low; slow ocean BUGALOO.

My body's grey,

and my mouth's baleen.

I like to eat krill and plankteen!

Sometimes I like to breech,

Sometimes lobtail.

Spyhopping's fun when I see a sail.

Squeak, whistle, gurgle too,

A low, slow ocean BUGALOO.

I'm a born-alive baby

or so they say,

But I weighed one ton on my birth day.

So come to see me,

I'm very friendly.

I love to play with people in the sea!

Squeak, whistle, gurgle too,

A low, slow ocean BUGALOO.

Pygmy Seahorse

Description: The pygmy seahorse is part of the osteichthyes class with other bony fish. It is only ½ inch tall, the size of a penny. It has bumps all over its body and uses camouflage to match the color and texture of where it lives. It holds on to coral with a long prehensile tail.

| |

| |

| |

Habitat: It lives in coral reefs in warm water. Mostly, it stays in a type of coral called sea fans.

| |

| |

| |

Diet: The seahorse has no stomach and eats all day to survive. It sucks in plankton and small shrimp through its snout.

| |

| |

| |

Enemies: Its enemies are big fish, crabs, storms and people. People take seahorses to use as pets, toys and in medicine.

| |

| |

| |

Interesting Facts: The male, or boy, is the one who gets pregnant. He carries the eggs in a pouch, or bag, on his body until they are born.

| |

| |

| |

Giant Pacific Octopus

Description: The giant pacific octopus is a mollusk. It has a soft body with no bones. It is the largest octopus and can stretch up to 16 feet long, the size of two adults and one child. The head is large and has a sharp mouth like a beak. It has 8 legs covered in suckers.

| |

| |

| |

Habitat: It lives deep in the Pacific Ocean. The octopus is shy and makes its home, or den, in caves or under rocks.

| |

| |

| |

Diet: It hunts for food at night. The octopus sneaks out of its den and eats crabs, shrimp, clams, lobster, snails and fish. Sometimes it even eats sharks and other octopuses.

| |

| |

| |

Enemies: Its enemies are people, seals, sea lions, sea otters, and sperm whales.

| |

| |

| |

Interesting Facts: The octopus can change its color and texture, called camouflage, to hide from its enemies. It can even squirt out ink to blind its enemies.

| |

| |

| |

American Lobster

Description: The American lobster is a crustacean. It has an exoskeleton on the outside of its body. Its body is covered with a carapace, or hard shell. It has 4 legs on each side and two claws in the front, a crusher claw and a pincher claw.

| |

| |

| |

Habitat: It lives in the north Atlantic Ocean from the beach to deep under the water. The lobster likes rocky areas and digs out a den, or home, under rocks.

| |

| |

| |

Diet: The lobster eats almost anything it can catch, dead or alive. It likes crabs, clams, starfish, sea urchins, shrimp and small fish.

| |

| |

| |

Enemies: Its enemies are people, seals, octopus, ground fish, crabs, and eels. People catch American lobster to eat at home and in restaurants.

| |

| |

| |

Interesting Facts: The lobster’s shell does not grow but molts, or falls off when it needs a bigger shell. The lobster eats some of its old shell when a new shell is growing.

| |

| |

| |

Lion’s Mane Jellyfish

Description: The lion’s mane jellyfish is not a fish but part of the phylum coelenterata. It has a soft body with no skeleton, no head, no heart and no brain! It is the largest jellyfish and has tentacles that can reach 100 feet down. The tentacles are dark red and orange and look like a lion's mane.

| |

| |

| |

Habitat: It lives in cold, freezing water in the Arctic Ocean, north Pacific Ocean and north Atlantic Ocean.

| |

| |

| |

Diet: It has over 1 million stinging cells on its tentacles that trap and paralyze fish so they can’t move. The trapped fish, plankton and other small jellyfish become dinner!

| |

| |

| |

Enemies: Its enemies are sea turtles, sea birds, large fish and other jellies.

| |

| |

| |

Interesting Facts: Because it is not really a fish, some people call it a jelly. The lion’s mane jelly provides a safe home for shrimp, and other kinds of fish who aren’t hurt by the poisonous tentacles, like butterfish and medusa fish.
