Have you ever heard about Florida’s Fin Fest? Well, this 2 day event is all about teaching and learning about ocean conservation all while listening to live music! This event takes place in Jacksonville Beach FL on September 13-14. Here’s a link to their site!
The movie True Spirit is about a 16 year old girl named Jessica Watson who sailed around the WORLD in a small sailboat named Pink. She did it all in 210 days!!! I hope that this true story will help to inspire you to follow your dreams!
An amazing sea creature that I don't think you've heard of part 1:
This is called a Spirobranchus giganteus, more commonly known as "Christmas-tree Worms"! They can rarely live up to the age of 30, and they tend to live in tropical coral reefs!
Fun Fact: Only 5% of our ocean has been explored! That means there are sea creatures unimaginable in the deepest parts of the ocean that we have never even dreamed of! Isn’t that just crazy!!!
🌊It is estimated that 5.25 TRILLION pieces of trash are in our ocean! That’s a lot of trash, considering we shouldn’t even have any trash in our oceans!🐚
🌊It is just unbelievable how much trash we just dump into the ocean! Over 100,000,000 sea creature die per year due to trash in the ocean and getting tangled up in it too! Even if you don’t want to donate to ocean conservancies, at least keep in mind that every time you throw away trash, it will either go to a land fill or the ocean. So make sure you keep that in mind before you throw away things you can reuse or recycle!🌊
Did you know 100,000,000 sharks die a year due to over fishing and demand for shark fins!!!🦈We have to save the sharks or one day they might go extinct!🦈
