Blake V.R

WALT: know what happens when we don’t look after our oceans.

On Tuesday we had a session with Blake V.R.When Alice and Grace arrived they taught us new things about the ocean , pollution and marine animals using Virtual reality.They showed us the difference between a marine reserve and an unprotected area.With V.R goggles we were able to see the marine reserve was full of sea creatures and sea vegetation like kelp and seaweed, whereas the unprotected areas were polluted and had algae and only small schools of bait fish.

One of my favourite parts was flying over the Three Kings Islands and travelling underwater to see short tail stingrays and sharks.

Grace and Alice showed us different ways pollution travels to the ocean pollution travels through waterways and drains and can come from oil spills from boats or cars. In our groups we had to come up with a way to reduce pollution and to prevent over fishing. My group said we could use reusable or recycled items and put stricter limits on fishing.
