The media that my coral reefs team will use are the following:
- social media: instagram
- Image-based media: visual content such as photographs, graphics, and illustrations
We have to choose the media type that best aligns with our project. We also have to consider the preferences of our target audience to ensure that our project resonates with them.
Dear "Coral Reefs" group
Your project concept is a commendable initiative that aims to explore the current state of coral reefs and raise awareness about their preservation. Your well-thought-out questions cover a range of important topics, and your potential collaboration with a scuba diver in Indonesia is an excellent idea.
One suggestion would be to write down what you want to ask the students of Dubai or what you want to do with them.
Overall, your project shows promise and has the potential to make a positive impact. We think on a scale from 1-10 you are at a 7.5.

We got in contact with Sivani Kerala, a student from India and asked if she knew someone she can interview regarding our project. She is currently looking for someone and collecting some questions. We have trouble facetiming her because of our different schedules.
We also contacted the diver from Indonesia. We tried calling him but had problems with the internet connection. As to why we then texted him the questions and are hoping for a response.
Next Steps:
- Get in contact with our Dubai collaborations
- Write to our diver to get some answers
- Contact Sivani to see if she made some process

Yannick, Mia and me are going to prepare some questions for our chosen expert.
We want to focus on the future of coral reefs. Is there a way to save them and if so how?
We are hoping for some useful answers and new insights on this topic.
We want to spread awareness and give tips on how we can protect the coral reefs.
Our goal is to make sure more people are aware of it and will also spread the word to others.

What are coral reefs?
Coral reefs are made up of colonies of hundreds to thousands of tiny individual corals, called polyps. These marine invertebrate animals have hard exoskeletons made of calcium carbonate, and are sessile, meaning permanently fixed in one place. More...

What is our vision and imagination for our project regarding the protection of coral reefs?
We want to spread awareness and give tips on how we can protect the coral reefs.
The world's coral reefs are suffering from the devastating impacts of pollution, climate change, tourism, overfishing and other threats. Approximately 500 million people worldwide depend on reefs for food. Coral reefs cover just 0.2% of the world's seafloor but are home to a quarter of all marine life. Two thirds of the Great Barrier Reef is already bleached.
We will talk about various ways to protect the coral reefs in our project and hopefully be able to publish that article. We will also write about the way we endanger corals and how it affects us. Our goal is to make sure more people are aware of it and will also spread the word to others. In order to make a difference we have to start somewhere and hope that it will reach a big amount of people.

Coral reefs are important ecosystems that support a diversity of marine life, but they are facing significant threats, such as:
- Climate change: Rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching and death.
- Ocean acidification: CO2 emissions lower the pH of seawater, making it more acidic and hostile to coral growth.
- Overfishing: Removing predatory fish can cause a shift in the balance of reef ecosystems and harm coral.
- Pollution: Runoff from agriculture and sewage can increase nutrients in the water and promote the growth of harmful algae that can smother coral.
- Destruction from human activity: Destructive fishing practices (e.g. dynamite fishing), anchors from boats, and coastal development can physically damage coral reefs.
To protect coral reefs, the following actions can be taken:
- Reduce carbon emissions to combat climate change.
- Implement marine protected areas and fishing regulations.
- Reduce and treat coastal pollution.
- Promote sustainable tourism practices.
- Raise public awareness about the value and vulnerability of coral reefs.
