SEA ANIMALS IN ACTION

Once upon a time there were a turtle, a little fish and a seahorse that were good friends and lived at the bottom of the sea. The turtle’s name was Lily. She was small, she had a shell and she could swim very fast. Her friend Stripy was a little orange and yellow fish. The seahorse was called Jumpy and he was beautiful. 

One day they met a big octopus. He had eight legs and his name was Octo. He was really angry.

Class A - Alicia Pérez Ruiz. CEIP Cesáreo Alierta - Zaragoza (Spain)

When Lily, Stripy, and Jumpy saw Octo's anger, they first got scared of him and tried to run away. Then Lily suddenly noticed the plastic bag wrapped around one of Octo's legs. They went close to Octo and  asked him to stay calm. They said they would help him and get his leg out of that plastic bag.

-I'm very angry with people, because they throw rubbish in the sea and get tangled up in my tentacles, he said Octo. 

So Lily grabbed the bag with her mouth to free Octo."

-Be careful not to swallow Lily, Stripy and  Jumpy shouted.But Lily put a lot of force to pull her and swallowed her.

At first everyone was shocked because they all loved Lily and were afraid that she would get sick. 

What can we do? -  said Stripy

How can we help her? - said Jumpy

Then Octopus said very seriously: I want to help her because this happened to her for helping me.

So he grabbed the turtle with his tentacles, squeezed hard on her belly and made her spit out the bag.

Hooray! they all shouted

Thank you Octo. I was so scared! - said Lily.

Octo the octopus was a wise octopus. He said we can't let our sea get polluted any more. We need to find a solution to it. Jumpy asked, "Well, what can we do?" Octo wanted everyone's opinion to be spoken. Just then, a thin voice was heard, it was Stripy's voice. He started to say, "I think everyone should take a piece of garbage from the sea and leave it on the beach. When people see what comes out of the sea, they understand how they pollute the sea."

The message spread fast to alli the sea creatures_ to the huge Orca too. When she heard it, she swam fast to help her friends. Every fish took a piece of plastic and with Orca's help, left it on the shore. 

Then, they swam deeper in the sea and waited for the people's reaction.

People passed by the beach and when they saw the garbage they were very sad.

At that moment they decided to clean up the beach.

When the fish saw the beach all clean, they were very happy.

The sea is not a dump, it is the home of fish.

    Together for a cleaner sea

Skanzo and Zazu entered the cave . They saw two octapuses lying there, Mani and Ti. When the octapuses saw the puffer fish and the seahorse became very happy. The octapuses began to talk and tell their news when suddenly they became sad and angry with the people who don't care about clean environment and throw rubbish in the sea.

   Hearing the news, Kuki the Turtle immediately came to the cave with his friends Mani and Ti. Zazu and Skanzo were also there. Together they started to come up with ideas about what else they could do about the pollution of the seas.“We can gather all the sea creatures at the School of Fish and collect the trash in the seas,” said Kuki the Turtle. Seahorse Zazu, let's send a message to people by writing the slogan "PLEASE DO NOT POLLUTE THE SEA" with the garbage we collect.

When friends arrived at fish school, mermaid Maya, the school teacher, noticed that they were all looking very upset and asked them what's going on. They explained why they were angry about and their plans about collecting the garbage and send a message to people to stop poluting the sea. Mermaid liked their ideas and offered to help them. She said she could get out from the sea since she was half human and give their message to the rest of humans.

    Five beautiful countries surrounded a beautiful, blue and clean sea. This sea was called the Sea of Friendly Countries.

  The five countries were: Croatia, Greece, Spain, Turkey and Romania.

   People from these countries came to this beach to sunbathe and feel good.

   In the sea lived a lot of beautifully colored creatures, corals, sea urchins and more.

Sometimes large ships with people who wanted to see this beautiful place also passed on this sea.

But one day the people and animals that lived around and in this wonderful sea saw something they had never seen before: some strange and dirty things in their sea. It was rubbish !!

Some were floating on the surface of the sea and some had sunk to the bottom !!

"How did that happen?" everyone wondered.

Unfortunately, some of those who had come to admire the Sea of Friendly Countries had left their garbage on the beach and the wind had blown it into the water !!

After that day, other careless people did the same and very quickly the Sea of Friendly Lands was filled with garbage !!

The people and marine life who loved this sea were very sad !! They had to do something !!

Irene Vasilaki, Dimitra Papadaki-7th Kindergarten , Ierapetra,Greece 

    The Earth heroes of the 5 beautiful countries that came to see this beautiful sea did not know what to do.  They immediately decided to do research.  Together they started to come up with ideas on how we can clean the sea.  One of the earth heroes "How about we design a trash can?"  "But we have to design this baton box so that it doesn't sink in the sea or flip over on the water surface," he said.  Another of the earth heroes said, "The mouth of the trash can should be at sea level and it would be a very good method to put a filter bag that will hold the garbage that enters it, but will leave the seawater back to the sea." will return. Thus, the garbage floating on the sea surface will enter this bin, but the sea water will flow through the filter and return to the sea.

The Earth heroes got down to work to build the "Garbage Eater" machine.

Once created, they began their cleanup mission.

From the beach they handled their remote-controlled invention and with binoculars they watched that no animal got stuck in the mouth of the "Garbage Eater" or swallowed some of that dirt.

Meanwhile, another group of Earth heroes was dedicated to collecting the garbage that they took out of the water and classifying it in the different containers: one for glass, others for paper, two for plastics, because there are many! And a special one for all the used masks that had been thrown into their precious sea.

O último grupo de heróis da Terra estava reciclando todo aquele lixo e transformando-o em plantadores, regadores, ferramentas para plantar árvores e construir torres de vigia para que de cada país pudessem observar que aquelas pessoas que não cuidam do meio ambiente nunca mais jogue lixo em seu mar maravilhoso.

The sea is very big so the superheroes had to watch carefully from the watchtower so they wouldn’t miss anything. And the people wished the sea would never be so full of garbage again. They decided they would never leave garbage on land again so the wind wouldn’t take it into the sea because they wanted to save fish and other sea animals. When the sea was cleared, everyone admired that beautiful and clean sea again. People were happy because they could swim in it again. They used recycled waste to make everything they needed for planting and planted seeds in the forest so that it would be full of flowers and other plants. At the end, everyone was thankful to the Earth superheores: people who were able to enjoy the beauty of the sea again, the sea animals that could swim freely and happily and the nature that came to life again.

Once upon a time, far in the sea, once lived a dolphin called Achilles. Achilles was blue and loved to play with all of his friends. He was really sad though because the once beautiful sea which he and his friend called home was now filled with all kinds of garbage. His friends ate the garbage because they thought it was food. Every day the blue dolphin watched his friend get sick and some of them even died… He was really sad… he didn't know what to do.. !! One day as he swimmed through the sea he found his friends looking really really scared. Something terrible has happened

Nimet KAYA ÖZEN / Piri Mehmet Paşa Primary School

The sea was covered with mucilage. Achilles and his friends did not know what to do in the face of this terrible sight. The dangerous situation could have killed many living things. They had to find a solution. They thought that we should make people realize this dangerous situation. This sea saliva was formed as a result of people acting unconsciously. People should be aware that this situation should be prevented, they thought.

Ioanna Stamou-6th kindergarten of Egaleo-Greece

But they didn’t know how to communicate with the people. They didn’t know what to do and they were very upset. The sea was in danger, and the mucus was getting bigger every day. Then Achilles remembered his wise grandfather. He was sure that he could help them. So, he gathered his friends, and they all together decided to go to the wise grandfather's house.

Merve Aksoy-Sabriye Toksoy Kindergarten-Turkey

Wise grandfather said that people noticed this, the sea was so dirty that it was impossible not to notice.  He said that all this mucilage was caused by the pollution of the sea.  people threw their waste into the sea and such a result came out.  For now, this sea spittle can be cleaned from the top, but this is not the solution, the important thing is to educate the people who pollute the sea and prevent the same thing from happening again.  Wise grandfather i knew a person who lived on a boat, loved the sea and could understand the language of dolphins, maybe he could start a campaign to prevent those people from polluting the sea.  Achilles was full of hope.

Eleni Eleftheriadou-9th Kindergarten of Ampelokipi-Thessaloniki-GREECE

Achilles's grandfather went up to the surface of the water every day to meet the person living on the boat.Finally one day he met him…He explained that he had to help them…to inform all people…to make a campaign…The person who lived on a boat,realized the big problem and agreed to start a campaign…So… 

The captain of the boat, fisherman Hasan, also complained about sea pollution. Fish eating microplastics also threatened human health. The plan was: Achilles and all the dolphins are near the shore Help ! Save Sea!, Balıkçı Hasan and all the fishermen he knew would accompany the dolphins and at the same time inform the world press. They decided to implement the plan immediately

Reading the press, people all over the World knew about the bad condition of the sea and started to do their best: whoever was on the beach cleaned with small fishing  nets, whoever was on boats collected garbage with big trawl nets. People have finally realized that it is important to keep the sea clean and promised that from now on they would have taken care of it. Achilles and his friends can now live in peace and joy

   Once upon a time there was a fish named Blue-Blue who was living in the deep calm sea. It was a friendly and happy fish. Marine animals were his friends. They liked to spend their spare time together playing in the Sea Park. There they were playing with fallen pearls shells, they were jumping on a seaweed trampoline or sliding on huge slide-shells.

     One day they organized a slide contest : „Which is the fastest fish?” It was Blue-Blue's turn to start. He jumped up and down so fast that he lost control and fell down. When he woke up, he realized that he was hurt. He hit a sharp object … it was a piece of glass!!!

DORINA TOPAN, Florești Kindergarten, Romania

Blue blue fish injured. Her friend Dolfi panicked when she saw the tail of the blue fish cut out of the glass. “He left the competition to help the blue fish. He looked around. 

 He saw the big tail. He wanted to help the blue fish. The big tail said, “I will win the competition. I can't help anyone," he said. He walked away wagging his tail. The dolphin was caught in the garbage thrown while swimming in the sea. He was swimming with difficulty. He encountered a diver behind the corals.

As soon as Dolphi saw the diver, he was scared. But then he thought maybe he could be helpfull. And he really was!The diver looked at Dolphi carefully and took out the garbage he had on him. Dolphi started swimming around him with joy and pushed him to follow. He took him to Blue-Blue and showed him his battered tail. Then the diver took out a magic ointment, put it on the Blue-Blue’s tail and was immediately cured!

Blue – Blue asked him:

-What is your name?

-Joe – Joe, said the diver

-Joe- Joe, tell me, why does 

our beautiful deap calm sea 

have glasses and garbage? 

Who throws them? 

Can you help us?

Diver Joe decided to help the fish. He called on his friends to help. The diving team took the necessary equipment and began cleaning the ocean. Suddenly, a group of divers saw a shoal of fish, swam to them with help. Together, they could collect more rubbish. The fish knew the ocean well and pointed divers out to underwater garbage. The children who took part in the diving course saw the underwater fuss and also went to help. The Blue-Blue fish and the Dolfi fish decided to call the whales and dolphins to help. Dolphins took the children to the ridges and swam in search of garbage islands drifting in the ocean. Together, they cleaned both the bottom of the ocean and its surface.

Other sea animals saw the collaboration of humans and animals. They set to help. Whales sprayed garbage with a stream of water, and dolphins collected it. Seagulls flying over the ocean conveyed information about the ocean cleaning action to other animals, thanks to which ocean cleaning was carried out all over the globe.

It's a cruel war! It destroys everything, causes death and wounding.

What could Blue-Blue fish, the Dolphin and Joe do?

Cry?!.. No!

They started taking care of the wounded.

The little blue-blue fish asked:

-Who takes care of old people, children, and animals?

And the Dolphin said:

-Whose are these bombs, the shots, the screams and the cries?

Joe added:

-Fear and despair, who provoked them?

And the Lords of the War answered in unison:

- We have come to cause destruction and ruin!..

 In response, the Blue-Blue fish, the Dolphin and Joe said:

- A life is a life and its worth cannot be calculated. Let's save, with love and hope, all we can. Humans, Fish, Birds and other animals and also the PLANET EARTH.
