Reef Snorkel Trip 29th of March

 Today I went on a Reef Snorkel Trip at the Moore Reef. We drove there by boat and docked on a pontoon near the reef. This trip was organized by my school and was made out of four different parts. The first part was the actual snorkeling part. The weather gorgeous and you could see lots of different fish, sharks and corals. There is one big fish (about a meter long) that always visits snorkelers. The second part was a safety instruction tour where a guide showed us different safety measures for the pontoon and the boat. The third part was a presentation by marine biologists which work on this pontoon. They informed us about new inventions that help the corals survive. One of them was MARRS, a system that helps new corals grow on old ones (https://www.mars.com/news-and-stories/press-releases/great-barrier-reef-stars-solutions). The fourth and in my opinion most interesting part was a glass-bottom-boat tour where a Aboriginal culture guide showed the connections between Aboriginal people and the reef. He talked about fishing spears, a natural sunscreen made out of mushroom corals, initiation rituals and even more. On the way back from the reef the culture guides held a small presentation and showed us didgeridoos and dances from Aboriginal people.
