On Saturday, we all went to Merizo Pier to help clean up the water. There were scuba divers to go down and get trash from the bottom of the ocean. My brother, Sister and I snorkeled to the divers to get the bags of trash from them. Then we snorkeled to shore where people on the ground were waiting to get the bags from us and sort them out. Some of the trash had sea creatures living on them or in them. So the people had to put the sea creatures back in the ocean. Hopefully they found rocks to live on this time instead of trash. Mom said that someone found an octopus in one of the trash bags. I wish I had been on the shore so I could of seen it before it got put back in the ocean.
Here is one of the trucks that got filled up with tires. There were tons of tires all along the pier. There was this one gianormous tire my Dad and I pulled from the bottom of the sea. It was so huge we had to have three lift bags to help us get it to shore. I can't believe how big it was. There were so many tires down there. I wish people didn't put their trash in the water like this. It was sad.
My Dad let me use his giant sausage. I liked to float around on it. It is not the kind of sausage you eat.
It sure was fun to help out with my brother and sister. Afterwards we all got to snorkel around a little bit. The water was so clear. We saw more tires and lots of sea urchins. We saw fish that were caught up in this big net. I asked if we could cut the net to set the fish free but Dad thought that there must be a reason for the net to be there. I had a lot of fun! It was a great time, I hope we get to do more clean-ups
