The Increasing Loss of Biodiversity - Initial Thoughts

I am overly excited about the latest project in Communication in Creative Culture at Massey! We have to look at an issue that society (or parts of society) face and more or less discuss how people react to it. One of my fondest childhood memories was when my Dad took me snorkeling in Manly, Australia. I had never seen anything as beautiful as this reef. It was so new and extraterrestrial to me, yet stunningly vibrant and tranquil.

Unfortunately, coral reefs and marine life all over the world are getting obliterated at a rapid pace. It is a relatively new topic to our society and it pains me as it is a personal upset due to that fond memory. I have therefore decided to base my study for this assessment around the loss of biodiversity.

I currently know very little about this issue, although I became aware of it when studying climate change for the previous assessment. I want to learn more about the source of this increasing problem and what can be done to improve damaged marine life and protect reefs that aren't yet affected. I will keep my research and responses up to date via this blog. There will definitely be more said on this topic.
