Saving the reef
With so much to see in the crystal, clear waters of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.It’s no wonder that millions of people visit it every year. In addition to tourism, it is a major site for fishing, research and shipping.Yet more than half of the reef’s coral has been lost since 1985.And human activity is largely to blame. Industry along the coast pollutes its waters.While illegal fishing is reducing the number of fish, but the biggest threat may be climate change caused by human activities.Rising water temperatures bleach the coral, not only causing it to lose its rainbow colors.But killing the algae it needs to survive, climate change is also making the water more acidic.Causing coral to grow more slowly. Fortunately, long term plans are now in place to try to combat the effects of climate change.The Reef became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1981 and today is carefully monitored.Areas of the reef where living things reproduce and now protected.And measures are being taken to stop tourists and fishing boats damaging the reef further.The islands around the reef are also protected from fire and pests.Through actions such as these, it is hoped that the Great Barrier Reef will be conserved for future generations.
Task 4: Write a brief eco-proposal
Situation:
Your group is a team of “Youth Environmental Advisors.” You have learned about the threats facing the Great Barrier Reef. Now, it is your turn to take action.
Your Mission:
Your team must create a powerful proposal for a new conservation initiative. You will present this idea to a panel (your classmates and teacher) as if you were asking for their support.
Requirements:
1. Group of 4;
2. Your proposal must include:
①Initiative Name: Give your project a catchy and memorable title.
②Problem Focus: In 1-2 sentences, describe the most urgent problem the Reef is facing. Use facts from the video.
③Key Threats: Clearly state the one or two main threats your initiative will tackle.
④The Solution: Propose one specific and creative action to help solve the problem. Be innovative!
⑤Slogan: Create a strong, short slogan to inspire people to join your cause.

Problem Focus:The Great Barrier Reef is losing its coral at an alarming rate. Climate change is causing bleaching, turning vibrant ecosystems into white graveyards.
Key Threats:Climate change (leading to warmer waters) and pollution.
The Solution:We propose creating an online platform where schools and individuals worldwide can “adopt” a piece of coral. Donations will fund new coral growth in protected nurseries, and donors can track their coral’s progress online.
Slogan: “Act Now, or Admire Later in Pictures.”
“Plastic-Free Reefs” Initiative

Problem Focus: Plastic pollution is choking our reefs, harming marine life and damaging coral ecosystems.
Key Threats: ①Plastic waste entanglement and ingestion
②Microplastics contaminating the water
③ Climate change exacerbating the problem
The Solution:We will launch community-led monthly beach clean-ups and install special waste collection bins along coastal areas. Simultaneously, we’ll develop an educational program for local schools and tourists about reducing plastic use. We also plan to work with local businesses to promote alternatives to single-use plastics.
Slogan: “Refuse single-use plastic, and choose a future that’s fantastic!”
