Sort each of the following into Producer, Consumer, or Neither: Mangrove tree, Dugong, Shark, Algae, Coral, Plankton Rock, Sunlight, Seagrass
Producers: Mangrove tree Algae Phytoplankton Seagrass
Consumers: Dugong Shark Coral
Neither: Rock Sunlight
Seagrass (a producer) disappears from a reef area.
What will most likely happen to the consumers — dugongs and local people who hunt them? Explain why.
Dugong numbers will decrease because they lose their food source (the producer).
As a result, people will also have less dugong to hunt because the consumer population declines.
