Great piece!

It's

Should be "Are" (think it is at least. because you're talking about not only the us, but the us and other countries so it's plural--could be wrong about this)

years. No, we don't recycle

It's (can keep "And it's" if it suits your style though--grammar is more of a suggestion)

could include a picture with a turtle that's being affected by plastic products in the ocean. Imagine there's a video on that sort of thing you could hyperlink here as well, but not necessarily needed.

It's a strong hook and I understand it, but I wonder if there's a way to rework it with an emphasis on consumer responsibility when it comes to not purchasing biodegredable plastic products in the first place. Maybe there's not and that's fine as well

great informative and concise article. Some minor issues that hurt readability (for me at least) are still around. Overall good though. Make sure to include "Author:[your name]" at the bottom. Please make edits and adjustments in the press book itself, you can find the login info on the class website

picture of a clown fish feeding on one of these things would be cool here.

water

do not

I would say "they leave" behind, just to make sure the reader knows that you're talking about the clown fish's contribution to the anemone here.

On the other hand, clown fish provide. (Can't start a sentence with "while" turns it into a dependent clause, I think at least that's what I remember from composition)

them both (think this works better, obviously feel free to change keep as is--but I feel as though my suggestion is good here, up to you though.)

organisms

rely

don't need the "the" here

since there are multiple anemone it should say "These unique relationships" (I think).

don't need the "the" here

Don't need the "the" here

on

can make this into a big list. "the head, around 30 to 38 pored scales covering its body, and its dorsal fins have 9 to 10 spines. I think you should also include a diagram with labels if you can find one--or make one yourself (not sure how you'd credit it correctly).

Great piece for the pressbook really get a sense of the individual behind the article here which is great for the diversity of the book. Couple of things--include the title of your piece at the beginning (above your first paragraph) as well as your 'Author: [your name]' at the bottom. Login information is on the class website--I'm sure you know where to find it.

really like the links here great idea

can be used to.

great point!

It's

America

Are (think it is at least because you're talking about the U.S. and other countries, which are plural)

Now,

years. No, we don't

Little confused by what this MORE is supposed to mean here--I assume it's about corporations failing to do more than they ought to, maybe there's a way to indicate that like "To do MORE." (just a suggestion though)

It's (can keep "And it's" if it suits your style though--grammar is more of a suggestion)

could include a picture somewhere with a turtle who's being affected by plastic products in the ocean (maybe not necessary).

It's a strong hook and I understand it, but I wonder if there's a way to rework it with an emphasis on consumer responsibility when it comes to not purchasing biodegradable plastic products in the first place. Maybe there's not and that's fine too.

Overall comments--pretty good some repetition makes it a bit hard to read. Mostly overuse of "this zone" and "typically,"but overall very good. Make sure to include Author: [your name] at the end. Please also edit the press book to have any changes you'd like to make (login can be found on the class website)

Maybe a picture of a back reef would be good here if you can find one.

light, making

present. This

zone's

are unable

comma isn't need (i think)

zone, unlike the reef flat zone, experiences (note the commas)

if you want to expand this article a bit, maybe give an example of a specie that is exclusively within this zone

"the life" i think should just be "life" no "the)

suggestion here, i think "Lastly, it's important to note"--not sure what the however is contrasting. feel free to leave it as is if you prefer though

as opposed to

miles, while

unlike

to the ocean? (think that's correct)

typically just jumps out at me here--maybe something like "tend to be"

typically is being used a lot here, probably try a synonym!

contain

depending

redundant--use a synonym here--maybe something like 'can be find in' or 'generally'

maybe a picture of an orange clownfish feeding would be good here

good article. really like the design you used here for it specifically. The orange backdrop for the clownfish's primary color and the light blue for the tropical marine environment makes it appealing to look at.

colon here instead of a semicolon

either "and search for" or "in search of" would work!

needs a period at the end (after anemone)

Think you should say "Orange Clownfish" or "A. percula" here since it's a new topic.

which

specifically, A.

A little wordy (not that it's wrong to be), but maybe something like "This study concluded that" works a bit better here. No problem if you disagree and keep your own writing choice/style here

sorry to be a stickler for the grammar here so often. I think something like "A study done in 2008 examined how [etc.]" works a bit better (at least for me)

I think there should be a paragraph break here since you're no longer talking about the symbiotic relationship and its mechanisms

anemone's. or you could do "which protect the fish from anemone toxins" (any changes up to your discretion though feel free to disagree, reading it out loud can help you figure which you like best)

should be "which protects"

instance, the (comma here i think)

contact, commonly (i think)

should be "organisms"

should be "an" interaction

"this unique relationship" and "this fish" so close together feels a little redundant. maybe something like "The unique relationship" or "A. percula"instead of "this fish" would help. your choice if you'd like to make this change or not of course

associated with like occupying here?

to me "particularly reside" reads a bit weird (can't explain why grammatically), but I think something like "but in particular the a percula reside near" is a bit better

an example of what I might write for readability (although what you use here is up to your own discretion) is: "Clownfish are known for their very unique symbiotic relationship with anemones; A. percula in particular reside near the shore and occupy a species of anemone called the Heteractis magnifica. However, this is not the only species of anemone that A. percula will commonly occupy."

don't think you need the but here in context since it's not contrasting with anything.

what is a "budge forward"? maybe you could included a labeled graphic underneath that readers could follow along with. (Budge forward, pored scales, dorsal fins+ dorsal fin spines labeled).

maybe in this intro paragraph you could include a quick hook like a fun/interesting fact about the orange clownfish to hook the reader to be more interested in continuing to read your article.

a little wordy, could use something like "evolved to," just a suggestion though up to your determination if you prefer your own wording. might be easier for a non science reader to understand this language too--another point for using evolved here is that it's a callback to your title

overall good article article, really concise and informative

maybe include a breif explanation of what it means to be polyphyletic

passive voice here. for it to be in active voice you could write something like: Seagrasses are estimated to have evolved from terrestrial plants back to marine life 4 separate times.

could be useful to briefly describe what monocotyledonous means (lot of terminology in this sentence so it can get confusing if you're not already familiar)

across over reads a little weird to me personally since they're both prepositions. I know you mean over as "more than" here so it's not grammatically wrong, but maybe the wording "spanning across more than 400 plant families" is a bit better. Up to your own determination though

don't think you need the parenthetical here. think it can just be: "By the time the Cretaceous period began, 140 million years ago, some plants..."

wow, that's a lot more interaction with mangroves than I would have expected
