The graph illustrates the population of echinoderms versus time. The x-axis represents
the year, while y-axis represents the population size. This echinoderms live in the european sea
under 1200 meters in depth. The number of population of echinoderms is collected over 30
years period and plotted in graphs above. We divided European map into three different zones:
yellow, green and blue. Therefore, it is easy for the reader to understand the map clearly.
Additionally, each zone that is divided has a similar trend of the size of echinoderms. A yellow
zone represents Northern country, followed by green and blue which represent Mid country and
Southern country, respectively. The data is collected since 1985 until 2015. This report will
explain each graphs in detail, including projected trend.
The graph shows the amount of echinoderms shown in a form of numerical date in Sweden and
Norway between 1985 and 2015. These two countries have a similar increasing trend. In 1985,
the number of echinoderms start at approximately 19 and 22 for Norway and Sweden
respectively, and increase over time. Although Sweden and Norway do not share the same
ocean, they have a similar size of population of echinoderms. The data shows that there is an
fluctuated trend in Norway and Sweden from 1985 to 2000. After 2000, the number increase
steadily until 2015 and anticipating that the number will increase until echinoderms reach their
carry capacity. This may due to the fact that consuming them is not popular in Norway and
Sweden or reserving sea animals is very strict. The number of echinoderms may increase
because Northern countries has suitable environment for them such as temperature and
resources. Therefore, they might migrate from the Southern and Mid countries, causing the
number in Northern countries become higher year by year. Another possibility is that they
reproduces a lot of offspring at a time, and suitable environment further support their
reproductivity.
 The graph illustrates the population of the size of echinoderms in the middle region
country which are Netherlands, United Kingdom, Denmark, and Ireland. All of the countries
have a similar trend of echinoderms population that is decreasing by time. At first the record in
1985, There is quite a lot of echinoderm population in the middle region country. However, since
1985 the population keep decreasing especially Denmark which already have a low number of
echinoderm population in 1985 and barely have no echinoderm in their seashore in 2015.

We predicted that the trend will keep decreasing due to the change of temperature.
Earth is facing a threat call global warming and this affects the echinoderm. Echinoderm is dying
due to the change of environment and because of that, the population is decreasing. The
echinoderm that survives will probably try to adapt them self or move to the northern region to
stay alive. This can explain why the north region trend is increasing from very low to high.
The graph demonstrate the relationship between the population size of the echinoderm in the
Portugal, Spain, France. The population size of echinoderm is decreasing as the time go by.
The average number of echinoderm has decreased from 45 to nearly 2. However it seems that
there may be some migration of echinoderm to the Northern country as it graph have shown the
increase in population size. This may due to that there may be a disruption of the echinoderm
habitat which cause the echinoderm size to go down.

In conclusion, there has been decreasing trend in the population size of echinoderm occur
across the South Europe. As shown in a graph there may be continue in decreasing in
population size of echinoderm due to the destruction of echinoderm habitat.
 ,
In conclusion an increasing trend can be seen in the Northern countries (Norway and
Sweden), while an decreasing trend is in Mid and Southern countries.
The reason that the number of echinoderms decrease in Mid and Southern countries is
because there is a migration from these two regions to the Northern part. This is due to
the fact that in Northern countries, there is more food available and optimal
environment for them. By having good living conditions, this echinoderms can
reproduce
their offspring effectively, causing the graph to curve up rapidly. The amount of
echinoderms that drop down tremendously in Southern part is because consuming
echinoderms is popular. This could be one factor that lead to a huge drop
