intertidal zone is the area that is submerged with water during high tide and
exposed to the air during low tide or the area between tide marks.

2. Infer the reasons why we need to protect and conserve the estuaries and
intertidal zones.

Ecosystem Causes of Destruction Effects of Destruction


Estuaries

Questions:
1. What are the causes of environmental destruction in estuaries and
intertidal zone?
2. What are the effects of damaged estuaries and intertidal zone?
3. What are the reasons why we need to protect and conserve estuaries and
intertidal zones?

C. Explanation:
After doing their activity let the pupils report their findings or discovering
about the activity they made.

What are the causes of environmental destruction in estuaries and intertidal


zone?
(Urban Development/cities, agricultural activities, boating, structures like
seawall, bridges, drains and jetties, erosion, dams, litter on the beaches,
people, waves, coastal development, moisture, pollution, competition and
natural disaters)

What are the effects of damaged estuaries and intertidal zone?


(Urban development can change the environment, agricultural activities can
affect the health of estuaries , industries like fishing can impact the water
quality and over-fishing reduces the amount of fish in the ocean and
disrupts the food chains , structures like seawall can damage the passage of
water, pollution and erosion can reduce the amount of food sources and
the available habitats for marine life and wildlife to live in. Natural
Disasters can disturb the homes and lives of the organisms.)
What are the reasons why we need to protect and conserve estuaries and
intertidal zones?
(Human lives depend to some extent on the abundant resources of
estuaries. Humans, therefore, need to live in harmony with every
component of an ecosystem like estuary and intertidal zone. Every
individual has a duty to use wisely and preserve the resources that we find
and enjoy on every part of our planet.)

D. Extension/Elaboration:

Direction: Complete the Venn diagram by giving the reasons why we need
to protect and conserve estuaries and intertidal zones.

Reasons why we need to protect and conserve estuaries and intertidal zones.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS


Human lives depend to some extent on the abundant resources of estuaries. Humans,
therefore, need to live in harmony with every component of an ecosystem like estuary and intertidal
zone. Every individual has a duty to use wisely and preserve the resources that we find and enjoy on
every part of our planet. We must realize that we do not own it.
The time for action to protect and restore the estuary and intertidal zone is now for tomorrow might
be too late every individual should take active role in the implementation of conservation programs
to identify and address water quality, pollution, and habitat problems within estuaries. It is the
responsibility of the people to examine their everyday activities and think about how they might be
contributing to the pollution problem.
Here are some suggestions oh how the people, including you, can make a difference in the protection
of the habitat of organisms:
 Be informed and get involved
 The people should be aware that estuaries are sensitive habitat areas
 They should get involved in dealing with habitat issues that affect the community in which
they live or work
 For pupils they can join tree – planting programs, clean – up drive in school and community
 Take full responsibility for one’s own backyard
 Minimize the application of fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides in your yard
 Use environment – friendly products such as organic fertilizers and biocontrols in place of
pesticides to safeguard the entry of harmful substances into the waters and end up in
estuaries
 Conserve water in your daily life to reduce runoff that may find its way into the estuaries
 Preserve existing trees and plant new trees and shrubs to help prevent erosion
 Dispose your yard wastes and chemicals properly
 Practice good housekeeping at all times
 In every household, each person is encouraged to keep all forms of garbage out of street
gutters and storm drains
 Install water-saving devices in shower heads and toilet bowls
 Replace any dripping faucets of leaky pipes
 Don’t dispose toxic wastes and chemicals down your toilet bowl
 Buy and use non-toxic household products
 Practice 5Rs: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, REPAIR, and RECOVER
 Always follow label instructions for the use and disposal of household
 Give due respect and great concern to estuary
 When you enter an estuary riding a hired boat, be careful not to touch or hurt the organisms
there. Better still, avoid entering sensitive habitat areas such as estuaries
 Make sure you keep all waste produced during picnics in a safe bag and disposed properly
when you’re back on land
 Avoid dumping any chemicals like gasoline and oil products, or heavy metal into the waters
of the estuary

IV. EVALUATION:

incorrect.
1. The wild animals will no longer have shelter.
2. The wild animals will be in extinct.
3. The ecosystem will be affected.
4. The reproduction of wild animals will be affected.
5. The ecosystem will be the same

V. ASSIGNMENT:
