02.05 Ocean Health Field Trip Worksheet

Johnny Daugherty completed a 360-degree virtual field trip to the Florida Keys sanctuary where he observed various fish species interacting by chasing each other. He noted that pollution and marine debris are environmental threats impacting the sanctuary. To help with conservation, he suggested cleaning trash off beaches to prevent it from entering the ocean. The worksheet questions also covered how the Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation was formed after a tragedy and is now restoring marine ecosystems by creating artificial reefs, and how seagrasses, mangroves, ocean acidification, and increasing temperatures affect coral reef health.

I visited the Florida Keys sanctuary. The experience was informative and relaxing.
2. Which marine species did you see during your field trip?
I saw many types of fish on the field trip.
3. How were marine species interacting with their habitat and each other?
Some of the fish were chasing each other and swimming around the cameras and the people.
4. As part of a larger ocean, what environmental threats are impacting the sanctuary?
Some things that are impacting the sanctuary are pollution, and marine debris.
5. What could you do to help with marine conservation or restoration?
I could help clean up the beach by getting trash off of it that would flow into the ocean.

Making Connections:
Use information you learned about ocean health and the article "Reefs with a Cause" to answer
the questions.
1. What tragedy led to the formation of the Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation?
In the article, Andrew was hit by a boat when he was saving one of his friends.
2. How is the Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation restoring marine ecosystems?
They are helping the marine ecosystems by creating reefs to help expand the habitats.
3. How do seagrasses and mangroves increase the health of coral reefs?
They get nutrients from the ocean to help keep the coral reefs healthy.
4. How is ocean acidification affecting coral reefs?
Ocean acidification is affecting coral reefs because it decreases the numbers of free carbonate
ions used for shell and coral building.
5. How are increasing ocean temperatures affecting coral reefs?
Increasing ocean temperatures affects coral reefs because it changes the ocean chemistry.
