Ocean Life Simulation

You have just purchased a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean. This island, which measures five miles long and four miles wide, has sandy beaches and dunes on its west coast, mangrove swamps on its east coast, a coral reef just off its northern coast, and a deep channel off to the south. You must decide how to develop your island for public use (resort, shopping mall, aquarium/zoo . . .). Your mission is to develop your island keeping in mind how it will impact the marine and land environments as well as accommodate human needs (water, food, electricity, shelter, transportation, etc.). Create a three-dimensional model of your island that illustrates the island's diverse habitats and shows your ideas for development.
