The fact that biologists in Monterey Bay emphasize the role of predator-prey interactions in maintaining a healthy ecosystem is a reminder that Miami's own marine conservation efforts must consider the complex relationships between species in its waters. As Miamians work to protect their coastal ecosystems, they can look to examples like Monterey Bay, where scientists are studying and learning from the behavior of marine animals like orcas and dolphins.
