- 10. The part of 5-across farther from the shore, where there are no rooted plants
- 11. Bodies of water, partially enclosed by land, that occur where fresh water from land drainage meets the water of an ocean or inland sea.
- 12. The amount of salts dissolved in water

- 1. The part of 5-Across where the water is shallow enough that aquatic plants grow from the mud and reach above the surface of the water
- 2. The very bottom of a body of water
- 4. The top layer of an aquatic ecosystem where there is enough sunlight for plants to undergo photo synthesis
- 5. The vertical flow of cold, nutrient-rich water towards the surface
- 6. Type of ecosystem covered by water at high tide, but exposed at low tide
