MY PROJECT

HOW CAN I GET PEOPLE TO KEEP BEACHES CLEANER?

DOHNEY BEACH

  • A beach in Dana Point, California and one of the dirtiest beaches in CA.
  • 57% of tests taken exceeded the daily maximum bacteria standards.

Wisconsin's south shore beach

  • 39% of tests taken there exceeded the state's bacteria limits.

ONTARIO BEACH

  • Out of 270 water samples, 30% exceeded the state's bacteria levels.
  • These beaches are all harmful to MOST marine life.
  • If you swam in the wrong spot in some of these waters you could catch some nasty stomach viruses or get throat damage.

a survey

  • You have a dog that you really care about. Your dog likes to swim so you take him to a beach. Would you take him to this one..

OR THIS ONE?

NOW REPLACE YOUR DOG WITH YOUR PET DOLPHIN OR EVEN YOUR FUTURE KID.

Do you want to cause these animals to die?
Hundreds of thousands of marine animals die because of ocean trash. (Sea turtles.org)

TELL ME YOUR FAVORITE MARINE ANIMAL

Now imagine that animal choking to death.


You can make a difference by picking up just a tiny piece of trash. You could save animals. I know that everything would be better if we could all enjoy a nice sunset

Heal the bay
This is a non profit organization that is focused on cleaning Santa Monica Beach. They have made a day dedicated to cleaning it,"Coastal Clean Up Day."
They also have an event called, "Nothing But Sand."This event happens the 1st Saturday of September every year.

MY IDEA

MY QUESTION IS "CAN I EFFECT EXTINCTION OF MARINE ANIMALS?"
