How has the Oceans For Youth material presented in S.T.A.R.S. changed my outlook? - Week #12

·         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.
