Hello my name is Sara and I can't wait to go surfing and snorkeling. This summer we are going to Australia to visit my best friend Ruby. She moved away in 8th grade. We always talk on the phone and she tells me that we are going surfing and snorkeling








I've never been to a beach, I have only seen it on tv shows. I also look at pictures of the coral reefs and the beach online and it looks so pretty!


But while on the plane we flew over the barrier reef and it was nothing like in the pictures. The pictures I looked at were colorful but flying over now it was all white. I didn't think much of it at first but later on I knew we had to do something to change this


The plane landed and the first thing we did was go to the beach and I couldn't wait. But, walking on to the beach didn't look like the pictures did. In the pictures it didn't show all the trash that there was in real life.


















I saw a group of birds all eating garbage that was left on the beach. One of them even had plastic stuck to the wing. Ruby and I looked at each other and knew we needed to make a change.






























The next day Ruby and I went snorkeling at the reef and all I knew was that it was going to be so colorful and full of fish. But when we got there I didn't even know we were looking at coral when we swam down because it was all white. There were also no fish like I saw on the internet.




It was Ruby's first time snorkeling as well so we were both very confused. Even our parents didn't know so that's when we started to look it up on the internet.








Coral Bleaching
It was called coral bleaching and we learned that it was caused by human activity. We knew we could try and make a change.
