This blog will focus on the effects of ocean acidification on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. I love swimming, snorkeling and fishing and have traveled to many parts of Mexico, enjoying the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean, and one of my favorite places on Earth: the Sea of Cortez. Because I live in the high desert of the Intermountain West region of the western United States, traveling to the ocean is an experience of extremes: from the sparse beauty of the arid desert canyons and rugged peaks of Utah to sea level, humidity and the invigorating smell of seawater on the air.
I have snorkeled around some smaller reefs in Mexico, but have never been to a reef anywhere near the size of the Great Barrier Reef. I certainly hope to one day.
As a student of science, and one who loves the outdoors, I am concerned with the effects of human carbon dioxide emissions on our natural resources. This blog is dedicated to raising awareness about the way carbon emissions are adversely affecting our planet's oceans and reefs, particularly the Great Barrier Reef.
