Comments and Feedback
Please help and rescue our Underwater Environment, remove the things that are not belong in it cuz it will surely destroy the marine life. Think about the future not only for today, keep it for the next generation and pass it through a lifetime.
Being able to know that our sea is taking a lot of debris in it, we need to act, we need to protect it.We are not doing it cuz we wanted to be famous, its not that we wanted others to talk about us. What we wanted is to spread the word that we have done something so you can also be awaken and ask yoursef. "Is it just us that needs a HOME??" PROTECT OCEAN, MAKE IT FREE FROM DEBRI!!!!
