(Quote) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 The quote that I chose is "The sea is the universal sewer" - by Jacques Yves Cousteau. The reason that I chose this quote was to symbolize what the world thinks that the sea is used as a dumpster. It is a deep quote that really shows what goes on with sea waste. The man that said this quote is an oceanographer, an oceanographer "Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean." (OceanService.NOAA) 

These people often get to see the hard truth with things like trash and harmed animals. The time that is spent, underneath the water up close and personal can become frustrating when all you are seeing is trash. The ocean is a beautiful thing and it is very unfortunate.

(MEmorial) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 To me, a MEmorial is a memorial that can be recreated in place of a different memorial. The MEmorial that I chose to replace was the plastic whale that is located in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The memorial that I am going to replace it with is going to be a sea turtle, with trash around it. The turtle will also have a straw that is hanging out of its nose to help symbolize how extreme things can be. There are many other MEmorials in the world, our Professor has made one and he still has it to this day. MEmorials can help relay other messages as well, if a statue were to be replaced people are going to notice. Some people are not used to having things be different, that is why I think that replacing MEmorials around the world will help everyone.

(Definition) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 The word memorial means something that is dedicated to someone or something that has done something great or has served a great cause. There are plenty of memorials in the world that showcase all sorts of great things humans have done. My personal favorite memorial is the Jackie Robinson Memorial. Jackie was the first African American to play professional baseball. To me, a memorial has been placed for my Mother back in my hometown at our baseball field because of all the great accomplishments she had achieved for our field.  A memorial can be anything you want it to be, my Mothers memorial is a bench. It is nothing too crazy it is just a little thing to remind everyone that someone great has left their legacy on people for the future. There are things that people value and care a lot for that is what the memorial is usually meant to signify.

(Mindset) A Proposal for a Repurposed Ocean Waste Statue to be Placed at Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey Bay, CA.

 I think that the mindset that people should have the mindset to want to do better in the aspect of making the ocean a clean and safe place. The message should relay something along the lines of helping others maintain the trash that they leave on the beach. Also, there should be an effort to add garbage cans as well as maintenance crews that are on top of those things. With just that effort I believe that things can be cleaned up tremendously, a little help goes a long way. There are currently people that do these beach cleanups but some people choose not to join. It is a nice breath of fresh air, knowing that there are still people that are willing to take the time to maintain such things.  I believe that if we work together as a world animals and other life forms in the ocean can to begin to thrive again.
