EMR TRIP TO GOAT ISLAND
It was so fun and interesting at goat island yesterday. we had to arrive to school before 8 am because it takes 1h 30mins to get there. My group and I called the Sharks got into the black, which Mr Walker was driving. It was kind of fun in the van on the way there cause we were playing music, singing and also playing games. I was really amazed at how much trees and mountains there are because there are just trees everywhere. After all of that driving we finally got there, we got out of the van and felt the fresh breeze. We all thought we could just start swimming and stuff but we had to wait like 20 mins after us for the bus to arrive. Once we were all there we had to get changed into our swimming togs and then sit down underneath the tree. While we were underneath the tree Sophie our instructor was talking to us about being safe and what we might see in the water. Once she finished talking the first group Orca's had to get suited up and then go straight down to the shoreline. While they were snorkeling the rest of us where swimming in the rock pools. It was just so awesome because we also saw a eagle ray and lots of giant snappers swimming underneath the rocks. after them it was finally our groups turn to swim. we got suited up and then went down to the beach. we went into the water put on our masks and was looking underneath the water. I saw lots of things like Kina, Snappers and lots of other fish ive never seen before. after we finished snorkeling there was one more group to go and while they were snorkeling we were eating then we got changed and finally left at around 2:30 pm. On he way back in the van everybody was quiet because they were sleeping. This was a really cool experience for me and I hope to go again!!!
I learnt that lots of people are over fishing which is making lots of marine animals die, and whats even worse is that there so much rubbish and plastic inside our beaches killing more marine animals. lots of marine animals are dying because climate change and global warming.
