We need a wave of change

This SDG is all about helping the ocean. This SDG takes action to clean the ocean too. Some problems this SDG is facing in the ocean are oil spills, pollution, overfishing and more. This SDG is also seen all over the world and helps many places and people. We chose this SDG mainly because we see lots of animals that are dead and some alive in trash. Mainly we see lots of trash on our beaches from people leaving it there. We hate to see this so we chose to help.
The impact people have on oceans leads to effects globally.
1. An inquiry into how we can work together to make a better future for the oceans.
2. An inquiry into how people can take action for the ocean.
3. An inquiry into how different people damage the ocean.
This is our level 1 action.For this action we made a video about what this SDG is ,the bad things in it,and how you can help.When we were done making our video we presented it to everyone in the cafeteria.The photos above are screenshot of each of us talking through the video.
This was our level 2 action. We went to a place called MRC Which stands for Marine Resources Council and made Oyster volcanoes. This organization formed because a group of people thought it was necessary to start helping the ocean and cleaning it up. This organization is still small, but it is growing. Oyster volcanoes provide a habitat To young oysters who don’t have one. Oysters can filter the water around them and make it cleaner, basically, they do the work for us. And they helped restore the beaches that were flooded by rising ocean levels.
I Made a website about sea life, how people hurt the sea life, and how you can help. I spread the word about the web site by flying it on a sign on the back of a plane. The plane flew over the beach and said “Visit www.protectthesealife.com”
For my level 3 action, I created a website called Sea Life Savers, and posted it using wix site. I ran a neighborhood/ community campaign (kinda), where I asked them how much they knew about Life Below Water, and things like that. Then I showed them my website and other organizations they could help at. Finally, I posted the website across multiple platforms online to spread the word to more than just my community. Did you know that the oceans take up 99 percent of the world's living space is under water!
My level 3 action was making temporary tattoos of our SDG logo with our slogan and team name. Then I gave out a slip of paper with the tattoo that explains all the information about our SDG.
In my level 3 action I partnered up with MRC which stands for marine resources council and I got put in the monthly newsletter for april. I talked about what an SDG is and how different things hurt sea\ life. how mrc takes action for this SDG and how you can take action for the ocean.
