1.I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing
up in Australia,I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to
Halfmoon Bay. I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday,my sister and I Were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There
were fish in different colors,caves and layers of coral.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected,I was shocked.
Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly,only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing,so it's important forms to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action.I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity,which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
Together,Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy,who grew up sailing,admiring the beauty of the ocean,and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
