Reflections of the Marina

In conclusion, on a early morning Saturday in April, I traveled to Eagle Trace retirement community and delivered my lecture on Marine and Coastal Biology with its connections to Biodiversity and how everyone on this plant must be proactive in protecting it against the harmful pollutants and biochemical spills (such as the one that happen in Louisiana last year). The audience seemed to be very receptive and asked questions on how they may get involved. I suggested that they go to the UN Biodiversity website to become more versed on the issues and also I suggest that they join the Sierra Club and get involved with the Houston Chapter. The Sierra Club as you may probably already know: "Since 1892, the Sierra Club has been working to protect communities, wild places, and the planet itself. We are the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States."  I told the audience that I was an active member of the Sierra Club and believe that the organization really and truly tries to make United States and the various ecosystem cleaner and more efficient in the job they are suppose to do.

When asked "Would I do the Service Learning Project again?", my answer would be definitely. I learn so much about Marine and Coastal Biology and it gave me more practice on my public speaking skills-- which will help me in the long run!
