· I learned that we must help to protect the oceans because we too need them to survive, and the animals there need our help as well.
· We need to find ways that help protect sea animals while being realistic about our own needs at the same time.
· I now understand that our ocean is more than just a body of water, it’s our lifeline.
· More people should be out there trying to save it because the animals being killed do not deserve it.
· We need healthy oceans to survive.
· It made me realize that there are many things that we could do to change our impact on the ocean.
· We need to stop messing around with the delicate aquatic life and not consider everything there as dangerous.
· The oceans are vital to human existence, providing food, medicine, and things humanity needs to survive.
· There needs to be more conservation efforts to improve the quality of our oceans health.
· Oceans For Youth has exposed to our group a vast array of sea life that we didn’t know could lived together and even existed.
· It showed us a delicate eco-system and the life on the reef that we rely upon to survive.
· It told a lot of things we do that affect the animals in the ocean and pointed out how we are the cause of the coral reefs being destroyed.
· We need to make changes and not hurt the ocean so much.
· It explained how eels are commonly misunderstood.
· This material combined with my studies in biology class allowed me to put it all together and see that our world needs to take care of ocean.
· By sinking ships we can help take the stress off crowded reefs.
· Learned what fish need so we can learn how to help.
· I never learned this many things from videos before.
· Sharks don’t have a hard skeleton.
· I learned about the killer whale from “Free Willy”.
· I now know the sea can be more interesting and dangerous than I thought and it the videos have changed my points of view.
· All of the animals there are important and if one species of sea animal goes extinct it hurts the whole ocean.
· All sea animals depend on one another.
· The programs made me realize all the damage being done to all the sea animals and the ocean that most people are not aware of.
· The videos showed us how the ocean works and how all the animals contribute in their own way.
· I learned more about the animals, their habitats, what they eat, and how they behave around people.
· A lot of animals are in danger and they are being needlessly killed, and some animals are friendly and play with you.
· We need to care of the ocean habitat and the animals that live there.
· We need the animals in the ocean as much as they need us and it is our responsibility to take action.
· If we take an animal out of the wild and put it in a cage we can never put it back because we have shown them a new way of life, one they cannot forget and unlearn.
· Captive animals put back into the wild will likely not survive.
· How cruel man can be to ocean creatures.
· We need to keep a balance in the fishing of the oceans and allow fish time to reproduce to avoid extinction. Balance over profit.
