      Hi Lily,

      I have always loved the sea (and the creatures that live in it!) and I wanted to help protect it, this is part of the reason why I became a marine biologist. The other reason is because we know so little about our sea, we have only explored 5% of our oceans. That means we have 95% more to explore- there must be lots of sea creatures and habitats that we have yet to discover. Discovering the unknown is extremely exciting!
