We headed to the sea for our 2nd Odyssey trip
GRADE 6 camping on the beach in West Bali National
Park. It was the perfect location to examine
coral reefs, sea grasses, and mangroves to
learn how these ecosystems work together
to ensure each other’s health. We recorded
what we saw while snorkeling the reefs and
sea grasses and exploring the mangrove
swamps and dry lands. We put all this together
to get a much clearer picture of how they
depend on each other, how we impact them,
and how we can best support them.
