Imagine a place where majestic beauty is disturbed by ruin and choas but still lives in harmony. We depend on it for survival and yet abuse it for a thanks in return. First, think of the its power. It roars like thunder in a storm then calms its waters with a soothing, melodic song. The waves rock the soft sand back and forth while green sea kelp dance in sync. A thin layer of white foam flows onto the the shoreline, reaching for higher ground but gets pulled back by the seas hand. A cool breeze drifts through your hair and fingers. You can taste the bitter salt crystals flowing in between the corners of your lips. It causes the green palm trees to shimmy and shake until a plump coconut has been released from its mother. After performing a welcoming hula, a pure seagull perches ontop of the leaves to rests his wings. Under the busy surface is a vibrant colony of life. Coral that are dyed by the colors of the rainbow glistened under the warm rays of the golden sun. Flounders burrow themselves under the soft bed of grains. Orange crabs walk among the ocean floor, looking for things to do. Grungy eels poke their heads in and out of dark crevaces to spook its neighbors. Tropical fish swim in unison searching for a comforatable place to eat algae. Dolphins backflip in happiness and screech for the joy of life.
Life at sea is a beatiful one; one that provides us with eveything we need. Sadly, we abuse it after all its done for us. You can't tell by just looking at the surface of its beauty, but look a little deeper. Its heart is pure but we have polluted it with intoxicating debris that gradually suffocates every breath that it takes. Greasy oil clogs its vessels while chunks of garbage have to be broken down into cleaner substances. The ocean has be sustaining itself since the beggining of times but its tired and worn out. It can't do it alone so we need to help. It has supplied us with wonderful activities, a place to stay, and food. We have to take care of it for a thanks in return. If not, the ocean will die.
