and Brisa is the 7-year-old angel. I wasn’t prepared to listen to everyone’s complaints and the bumpy road didn’t help. After four hours in the car the Cooper clan finally made it to Galveston. I looked at the sunset outlining the beautiful blue ocean and couldn’t wait to be in the water. After a short trip to H-E-B for food and fishing supplies, we made it to our hotel. I wasn't looking forward to sharing a room with my little sister, but it was better than sleeping with the boys. I closed my…

There were many fun things to do in the island like swimming, water tubing, scuba diving, snorkeling and many others but still it turned out to be a nightmare!

Today we planted around 100 mangrove plants in tidal swamp. The area has been taken over by invasives recently, which outcompetes the mangroves that are so vital to the ecosystem. The mangroves provide habitat for many species of birds and fish, unlike the invasive plant. Destroying mangrove habitat for poorly planned rice farms allowed invasives to take over and seriously harm mangrove populations, which means there’s less habitat and more erosion. This is an example of how the placement of…

A changing climate is proving a threat to the world. Increased CO2 emissions are leading to rising sea levels, melting ice caps, extreme weather, and an increased rate in the extinction of species. However, the question of why endangered species are important to conserve arises. What is the purpose of devoting the effort to protect a single species when so many more exist?
