1. Living by the Water

   People live in different types of homes near the sea. A beach house sits right on the sand, while a stilt house stands on wooden poles above the water to stay safe from high waves. High on the rocky coast, a lighthouse shines a bright light across the dark water to guide ships safely to the shore.

   A seaside neighbourhood is full of interesting sights and sounds:

   • Harbour: A safe place where fishing boats and small ships rest.
   • Coast: The land right next to the sea or ocean.
   • Pier: A wooden or stone path built over the water for walking and watching boats.

   Under the Blue Waves

   Many fascinating animals live in marine habitats. The place where an animal naturally lives and finds food is called its habitat.

   • Dolphin: A playful mammal that swims fast and jumps out of the water to breathe air.
   • Sea Turtle: A calm swimmer with a strong shell that swims across warm oceans and rests near sandy beaches.
   • Octopus: A clever animal with eight arms that hides inside rocks and under coral reefs.
   • Crab: A small animal with hard pincers that walks sideways along the shore and hides in tidal pools.

   These animals hunt for food, dive deep into the blue water, and rest among colourful coral reefs.

   Keeping the Oceans Safe

   Marine animals face several serious dangers in their natural homes:

   • Plastic litter: Sea turtles can mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them.
   • Lost fishing nets: Animals can get trapped in old nets left in the water.
   • Pollution: Dirty water from towns makes it hard for sea creatures to breathe and thrive.

   We can protect our seas by exploring nature carefully, collecting beach litter, and keeping the coast clean for all living things.
