A good example of how dead our reefs look
(and no i'm not naked)
Key West, 2016 |
Since the age of 12 I've known that what I want to do in life needs to involve the water. I got in to scuba diving at a young age thanks to my mom who forced me to go to a scuba camp over a summer break. Since the day I got on a scuba tank I just knew this was it i want to do this the rest of my life. When i was younger I used to volunteer all the time at the Marine Discovery center in New Smyrna, and i learned a lot of cool things about the ocean and i think that's what really motivated me to go to college to try and make a difference for it one day. I've always been amazed by how crazy it is there's a whole other world beneath the surface of ours, i'm also obsessed with sharks and i want to do anything i can to be around them. I used to go diving almost every weekend before i went off to college in Key West, where I went diving almost every day. It really breaks my heart seeing how bad off our reefs are, especially Florida's reefs, They just look half dead. There also is a huge difference in animal life on them compared to 20 years ago and it's just horrible. Seeing as about 1/3 of the Worlds reefs are gone, i just want to do anything i can to help reverse whats's happening. I've re planted coral on coral farms multiple times and it makes me feel genuinely good to know that even though what i'm doing is small, it's still a step in the right direction for our oceans.
Chelsey--a couple of things. Please remember to use 'I' rather than 'i'. The goal of this post was to begin identifying your IRP; I don't see any reference to what you are contemplating for this. Finally, please be on time with your submissions. This post was due by 8am this past Friday.
