Use the evidence from the article to:
1) Design your own problem statement in regard to the impact of environmental stressors
on the adaptation of marine life.
2) Explain with scientifically valid reasons why and how adaptation helps to increase an
animal’s survival rate.
3) Evaluate how response to change can differ from specie to specie and what will
influence the response to change.
