THINK IT THROUGH A federal agency has put you in charge of devising responses to the invasions of zebra mussels and quagga mussels. Based on what you know from this chapter, how would you seek to control the spread of these species and reduce their impacts? What strategies would you consider pursuing immediately? For which strategies would you commission further scientific research? For each of your ideas, name one benefit or advantage, and identify one obstacle it might face in being implemented.

Some of the larger marine animals are housed in pools for viewing instead of being allowed to live in their natural habitat. They also have rare and endangered species on display to help increase awareness of them. They even have a breeding program for the some of the endangered animals.

- Coral reefs are unique, living structures. Even though they appear to be hard, rock-like structures, the soft-bodied coral animals that build the elaborate, hard, rock-like reef structures around themselves live inside. Corals are unique animals because they have photosynthetic algae that live inside their cells. This unique relationship is beneficial to the algae since it has a safe place to live inside the coral cells, and it is beneficial to the coral since the algae are producing food via photosynthesis. From the description above, what type of symbiosis is described, and at what ecological level does this relationship exist? The relationship is an example of parasitism, and it exists at the community level. The relationship is an example of mutualism, and it exists at the community level.
