The seagrass ecosystem is located in the shallow coastal bay off the coast of Puerto Rico. The tidal prism is about 2 m, limited runoff from land, P/ET ratio of about 1. The seagrass are grazed by sea turtles that recycle nutrients; and support a very large fishery in the region. The fish are sold in the local village. There is concern about a point source loading of nutrient waste from brand new waste water treatment plant built in the last two years. The environmental assessment of this region concerns what is the loading rate from the wastewater nutrient plant that will allow for a sustainable fishery.

Energy level diagram represents relationship between components and pathways of exchange and resource flow.

steps for drawing energy diagram.:

1. The boundary of the system is defined.proce

2. A list of important details considering scale of defined system is made.

3. Alist of processes like flow, relationships, interaction, production,consumption, is made.

4.A diagram showing symbols of energy system language are drawn retaining ecosystem integrity.
