Thoughts

I feel that technology and money in a way have ruined us and when I went to this estuary I was so surprised to find out that people actually do CARE. People care so much about natural environments and are finding ways to keep them alive. I was so happy to see that people dedicate their entire lives to protect and research these special environments. What intrigued me was that there were people everywhere doing what they loved. I saw boaters, hikers, kayakers, all within a few short minutes. And I thought to myself wow maybe it's not all about technology and money, which intrigues me because I feel like these days that's what teens only care about. I took a hike on a path around the estuary and there were sooo many mosquitoes that was about the only thing that disturbed me, if I had seen trash or cans in the water or in the path that would have also disturbed me, but again people really do care about this National Reserve. Nothing about this place was boring I found it so interesting and uplifting, that I recommend anyone to go and explore. This observation varies from my first observation because in my first observation it was more of just a beach visit with my friends and it took me back down memory lane by remembering in the first place why I wanted to study marine biology. In the second observation I studied and researched information about the estuaries and found how, where and why they are protected, how they aid in our environment and the oceans, why it is such a wonderful place, and what we can do to help.
