Significance• Venice contains mostly of water resources, and is a wetland biome. We

could find different aquatic organisms here. In our course, it includes cooking different dishes/animals meaning it involves the killing of this specie. So it is still important to think about the effects before trying to cook it. We can’t cook whatever animal we want. Because it could cause a disruption in the biome. This biome is important because it provides us different organisms that we could experiment and cook, but we should never abuse it.
