10) The queen conch is an ocean snail that lives in and feeds on the seaweed and seagrasses found in Florida's warm waters. Both the microorganism coccidia and
slipper snails use the conches for shelter. Conches are also eaten by people and
used as bait in fishing. What would þest describe the changes to the ecosystem
if seaweed and seagrasses are cleared to build a beach? *
The conches would lose their habitat, resulting in less seafood for humans.
There would be fewer animals living there, decreasing the water temperature.
The water would be clearer, making it easier for fishermen to find conches.
More space would be created on the seafloor, giving plants the chance to spread
farther.
