My Reflection on the AquaVan…

I really liked when they showed us animals (E.G Sea anemone, Sea urchins, and a crab shell but with no one inside!!) which was cool, but I really want more animals next year.

a lovely Sea Urchin in the water

Next, They showed us animal body parts From a crab shell to a Killer Whale’s Jaw, also saw a small bottle with garbage from to middle of the Pacific Ocean, which was really sad because that one tiny bottle contained a lot of garbage so image like, 1,000,000 of those bottles, so that would a huge amount of garbage.

(By the way this was on a beach)

In conclusion I just wanted to say that we need to act fast to save to ocean, because it will help us for the more years to come.

AquaVan Visit

AquaVan Reflection

During the AquaVan visit I learned some valuable information. They talked to us mostly about the state that the ocean is in. It is horrible. I thought the plastic island was the size of Texas, but she said it is now the size of BC and Alberta combined! I also learned that in the year 2040 they think that there will be no more seafood. So unless we change soon, there will be no more seafood to eat. I think to help the problem we should stop using unnecessary plastics. Plastic is the main thing that made all this happen in the first place. The effects that we make on the ocean can affect us so I hope we change soon.
