Marine Animal Research Project

You and your partner MUST choose a marine animal that is native to the Monterey Bay Area. See the link for a list of animals. When you conduct research, you will take notes on the following:

• Animal type (classification)

• Habitat

• Diet

• Size

• Range

• Relatives

• Natural History

• Cool Facts

• Conservation

You and your partner will also need to create an art piece of your animals and at least one photo. Next, you will create a small trifold display board that shows your new knowledge of this amazing animal!
