Question

How is the coringa ecosystem different from the Marine ecosystem you studied?

Answer 1

Coringa ecosystem is an estuarine ecosystem and consists of mangrove swamps. It is formed at the confluence of the Gautami-Godavari river with the Bay of Bengal. The marine ecosystem is the largest of earth aquatic ecosystems and has a high salt content.

Complete step by step answer:
Let's learn some differences between them

Coringa ecosystem	Marine ecosystem
- In the Coringa ecosystem, sea and freshwater meet, as a result, a periodic tide takes place which brings rich nutrients in this region.coringa wildlife sanctuary is located in this area and it supports a wide range of flora and fauna.	- Marine ecosystem refers to the ocean and seas and the other saltwater environment. The various types of marine ecosystems include - salt marshes, estuaries, the ocean floor, the broad ocean, the intertidal zones, coral reefs, lagoons, and mangroves.
- The second- largest mangrove formation in India next to Sundarbans is Coringa.	- It is the largest ecosystem of the earth’s aquatic ecosystems.
- The coringa wildlife sanctuary is located in this area and supports a wide range of flora and fauna.	- The marine ecosystem has only saltwater organisms.
- Coringa is an estuary so it has greater biodiversity.	- It contains only aquatic animals, so biodiversity is not as rich as Coringa.

Additional information:
- Coringa mangrove is situated south of Kakinada bay and is about 150 kilometers south of Visakhapatnam.

- Coringa is named after the river Corangi. Coringa mangrove receives freshwater from coringa and gaderu rivers.
Biotic components of the Coringa ecosystem are
Producers: mangrove, spirogyra, euglena, blue-green algae, etc.
Consumers: shrimp, crab, hydra, protozoa, turtle,worm etc.
Decomposers: detritus feeding bacteria etc.
Abiotic components: salt and freshwater, air, temperature, soil, etc.

Note:
- Marine ecosystem is an important part of the world because it gives marine life to live and survive such as tiny plankton, fishes, crustaceans, reptiles, etc.
- The most important Marine ecosystems are estuaries and coral reefs.
- Many creeks and Camel travel in the Coringa ecosystem.
