PPT-Introduction The primary purpose of this project is to measure biodiversity of dragonflies

an indicator species because they require clean water to thrive because they spend most of their life span in the river 8 Most if not all life forms play a vital role in the Peconic River and because of the nature of how dragonflies develop and mature it is important to monitor this species Dragonflies have a significant and positive role in maintaining ecological homeostasis Being extremely skilled fliers and having almost a complete 360 view they keep pesky mosquitoes diseasespreading . Marine and coastal habitats include coral reefs mangrove forests sea grass beds estuaries hydrothermal vents seamounts and soft sediments on the ocean 64258oor deep below the surface More than just a valuable source of food the ocean is one of the l By Amy Heelan.
