Activity 3: Faded Glory [5 points]

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, made up of 2900 individual reefs. It is so big that it can actually be seen from space! The reef is located on the east coast of Australia and many people believe that it is millions and millions of years old. For most of its life, the reef has been a healthy, vibrant ecosystem. Over the past thirty years, however, it has changed dramatically. Much of the beautiful bright coral has become bleached and has lost its colour. Sections of the reef have also been damaged by tourists, cyclones and the introduction of new, damaging invasive species.
The Australian government is working to protect and preserve the reef. Each year they spend about $200 million dollars repairing and protecting the reef. It is a lot of money and they could really use some help raising the money (funds) required to repair the reef. This is where you come in! 1) I would sell food, clothes, drinks etc 2) Get volunteers 3) Get billboards all around east coast of Australia

  1. Hi Fau,

    I'm really enjoying your blog!

    These are good ideas too for this activity. People will always want to buy food and drinks, so that is a sure seller. What sort of food and drinks would you sell?

    Volunteers are also good as they're free and they really want to help. Have you ever volunteered for anything?

    Take care Fau, talk soon!

  2. Hello Fau! I think you've listed some good and interesting strategies to help make money. Billboards would be a smart idea to tell people what's going on. What would the volunteers do to help? Keep it up!
