Our Ocean

Mrs. Yuska's 7th grade class is virtually attending the "Our Ocean" Conference in Washington DC today. learning about what the world leaders are doing, and what we all can do, to preserve and protect our oceans. Our students have been able to ask many questions through the live Twitter feed of the event, including: How are anti-pollution laws enforced on the water ways? What is more harmful - the trash or the CO2? Do we know how many Dead Zones there are? Where does most of garbage that reaches the sea originate? Is it possible to add oxygen to the hypoxia areas of the ocean?
Thanks to Discovery Education for this great opportunity! Don’t forget to ask your children all about it when they get home! #OurOceans #OfThePeople
