I'd like to talk tonight about Algae and Invertebrates and how they can be used to monitor an ecosystem. Algae plays an important role in an ecosystem because it utilizes light energy in the process of reducing CO2. It is a primary producer, which benefits other organisms in the ecosystem and it produces large amounts of nutrients as well. The role of invertebrates is very important too--they make up a great majority of all macroscopic life in the sea. They provide nutrients for other organisms in an aquatic system, which in turn allows them to supply energy to the organisms as a food source.
