We just had to post this video, which came our way via our friends at the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Notes blog. Watch the video, which is a gorgeous animation project about a world that neglects its biggest portion – the oceans – and you’ll understand why we’re posting it (right down to the brown hair – except that she’s been to the ocean).
For more on this wonderful video and its creator partnership, which includes Harvard University’s Center for Health and the Global Environment, visit Healthy Oceans.org. Teachers can also access educational tools and web resources, including Once Upon a Tide worksheets, at the site.
What do you think of the video?
While at the beach in Fort Myers and at Tampa Bay I saw a lot of trash washing up when it was very windy. There was a lighter, lots of bags n cups, some stuff that people probably threw in the water or just trash that got blown into the water with the wind. I’m sure some of it can’t be helped but it still just made it look dirty. So sad.
Oh no, not good! I hate trash – trash does not belong anywhere but the trash can or land fill. The ocean is not a big land fill! ~Alexa
