This week we had a very hard time with our solution ideas. At first, we thought that we could invent a kind of net to filter the plastic from getting into kelp forests... but that isn't practical and way too hard to do in a few weeks. Then, we thought about going diving into the kelp forests to help clean up trash and re-locate Sea Urchins; but we don't have a scuba diving certificate, and it takes so many hours of training to get one... so we had to come up with another plan. Finally, with the help of Ann Marie, we got an idea! We are trying to level out the population of sea urchins living in the kelp forest because they are overpopulating and destroying biodiversity in the kelp forest. By using three predators of sea urchins, we will try our best to make sea urchins become a popular tasty snack on sushi and for sea otters and seals. We're planning to do a web series of recipes for eating sea urchins and post it online. We may also partner with an organization that works on relocating sea urchins in the kelp forest.
We're hoping to get back on track and continue with the project to help restore and preserve this beautiful and aquatic plant that we don't want to lose.
