David Attenborough Documentary Coatsal Seas

Today We Watched the Our Planet Documentary, Narrated by David Attenborough, called Coastal Seas. Here are some interesting facts we learnt:

90 percent of marine creatures live in coastal waters. This is because of the seafloor is in reach of the sunlight.
The documentary we watched was filmed in the Everglades National Park, in Florida USA.
The lush meadows of the park support the marine life.
The Giant Trevally and Sting Ray are extremely good hunters.
Stingrays hunt for their prey the hide in the sea grass.
There is a lot of food for the sea creatures, and for humans in the coastal waters.
The bottle nose dolphin has a special way of hunting shoals of mullet. They create a circle around the fish and flick up the mud which makes the water murky - the mullet.
Coral reefs make up less than 1% of all the marine species that live in the ocean.
Coral reefs are missing an important member of the community - Sharks!
Shark numbers have been dramatically reduced due to over fishing.
Over fishing has reduced the shark population by 90%.
