Hi everyone! This is Dishi, and I am a member of the Potato Bricks Team! Although I was born and brought up in Idaho, I have gone on many vacations to the sea. To the beaches, on a ferry, to islands, and seeing coral reefs. I have collected this story, that I want to share with all of you! Basically, we were at the Florida Keys, and my dad and his friend had gone snorkeling. My friends and our moms were on the beach, since my friends and I were too young to go in the ocean yet. Turns out that when our dads were snorkeling they saw some bleached corals. Which was horrible!
I am sure that you have heard of the Great Barrier Reef, which is near Australia. That reef is also having a horrible problem of bleaching as well! The truth is, that not only Australia has this problem, oceans around the world are facing the same thing. So when our team was looking into this problem, and we were creating this website for all of you to learn about this problem as well, I came up with an idea. Why don't we create an art project to help little ones become interested in reefs?
So I did. It showed coral made of sponges, fish, the ocean, and was extremely fun to do! I just want to tell you all, that there are tons of things like this on our website. If you want to experience the ocean at your home, try a VR experience! If you like reading and gathering information, then look through our many resources. There are many things for all age groups, to help you get captivated in SAVING OUR CORAL!
So, let's help! Just by learning about coral bleaching, and our actions in our day to day lives, can help. So keep learning, and I will see you all another time!
