Sea plants like marine algae(海洋藻类)，seagrass and mangroves(红树林)provide habi-
tats for many marine creatures including shrimp,fish and other small creatures.In some way,
these plants keep the steady of the environment on the bottom of the sea that might otherwise
be damaged by sea waves,sunlight and other climate change.
In mankind's view,mangroves offer a safeguard against storms such as hurricanes,pro-
tecting the inland areas where people live,especially in places like the coastlines of Florida and
Louisiana.
Marine algae,seagrass and mangroves play another vital role for many marine creatures-
that of a baby room.Many marine animals lay eggs in these areas because their young have a
better chance of avoiding hunters while hidden in the plants.
Many animals rely on these plants as a main food source as well.Sea urchins (are
just one example of some marine creatures that eat marine algae,keeping the algae from over-
growth for its health.Without these vital plants,lots of marine animals would have little pro-
tection from the hunters and human activities.
Pollution and fertilizer run-off,damage from boat grounding and human-caused stresses
on natural water systems are just a few types of threats that impact these weak ecosystems.
The effects of the oil run-off in combination with these pre-existent conditions are difficult to
predict.However,it is certain that the results will not be good for the already stressed envi-
ronments that many species of marine life call home.
When exposed to the oil and the chemicals used to clean up the run-off,the sea plants
themselves are directly affected.But in addition,the marine animals that depend on these
plants as food and shelter are also impacted,and the rest of the food web will feel the effect.
28.What do the mangroves mean to the people in Florida
A.Their security blankets.
B.Their food sources.
C.Their hiding places.
D.Their homes.高三英语试卷参考答案
