= //__Monera!!!__// =

These are some monerans that live in the ocean shore //biome//. A //monera// is a singled celled organism that has no nucleus.
= = ==The first type of monera we have is enterococci bacteria. This type of bacteria is a beach pollutant, which means it causes the beach to close to due pollution. The second type of monera is E. Coli. The full name for this type of monera is Escherichia Coli. This bacteria is found in the sand at freshwater beaches. E. Coli can be potentially dangerous if you don't wash your hands at the beach before eating. If you don't wash your hands at the beach and you swallow some E. Coli you could become sick. If E. Coli touches your skin you it should not effect you unless it is swallowed. Both types of //monera// live in the sand on the shorelines. These are some //monera// kingdom organisms that can be found on shorelines.==

= = = __//PROTIST!!!//__ =

==The first //protist// is Ulvania, also known as sea lettuce. The second //protist// is Codium. The third //protist// we have is Filamentous floating. All three of these protists live in the Ocean Shoreline because they are often called seaweed. These are //protists// that can be found on the ocean shoreline.==

=__ Fungi __= ==Fungi are singled celled organisms with no chlorophyll that absorbs neutrients. The first fungi is a sac fungi called //Halocyphina villosa//. Its common name is Basidiomata. It is generally found in oil-polluted mangroves. The second fungi is ascospore. The scientific name for ascpore is //Ceriosporopsis halima//. It is mostly found in beaches and mangrove swamps.==
