This research was processed through The Keystone Predator model‚ based upon experiments preformed in the 1960’s along the rocky shore of Washington. This environment is the region between the high and low tide levels of a rocky shoreline. The community and population of the environment must survive the cold air and the nature of waves. 9 different species and their populations were simulated. The simulated environmental community contains 4 species of mobile consumers‚ 3 species of filter feeders

Introduction Kane’ohe Bay is home to a variety of marine organisms. They bay itself is constantly being modified by a variety of factors. The bay is exposed to freshwater input from several streams‚ oceanic influences from water surges over the fringing reef and through the two access channels‚ and experiences terrestrial runoff from the nearshore areas. Input from the freshwater streams provides nutrients‚ sediment and other materials into the bay. Pollutants are added to the bay from terrestrial
