I am Faith Delva , and I am apart of Waterkeepers Bahamas. I’ve recently join Waterkeepers Cadets during the month of March 2020. This has given me the opportunity to socialize with like-minded people that have the same interest and enthusiasm about the ocean and the environment as I do. So far I’ve learn about the reefs and the different species of coral fish and algae. Also, we have learned about scientific and engineering practices which include asking questions and defining problems. From my understanding science questions ask what exist and what happens. Why does it happen , and how does one know? While engineering question ask , what can be done to address a particular human need or want? How can the need be better specified , and what tools and technologies are available, or could be developed, for addressing this need? I am euphoria to gain more knowledge about the reefs and the upcoming challenges that I may face. Thank you

My name is Heather Brockbank the water Keepers Cadet program exposed me expose me to not only Theory but Hands-On lessons tailored specifically to the youth covering a wide range of environmental topics from the largest Predators down to the smallest microorganisms the class sessions aim to stimulate visual learning while also catering to those Hands-On Learners with the field Explorations the facilitators at waterkeepers Bahamas stimulate the students in the classroom group activities through leadership activities and projects along with in-depth note-taking and experience speakers in this program has been awakened me to the importance of coral reefs and the animals around them. As of recently the world has come to a halt however Waterkeepers Bahamas keeps the ball rolling by innovating and providing virtual class session in order to make up every moment missed in person or in the classroom with this experience from the waterkeeper cadet program i plan on spreading awareness of proper Marine marine and terrestrial environmental care and be an example to those in my community

My name is Tony Munnings and I’m apart of Waterkeepers Bahamas. So far this year we have learned about science and engineering practices. One of which were asking questions and defining problems. So far I’ve gathered that science questions and engineering questions both ask how does one communicate about phenomena, evidence, explanations and design solutions. To distinguish between the two, science questions ask what happens and what exist. While engineering ask what can be done to address a particular human need or want. Also we are continuing to learn about the reefs and different species of fish, coral and algae.

Greetings, my name is Clarence Cash II and I am one of the newly recruited waterkeepers cadets. This program has taught me many new things about the many different species of marine life and ways in which they are protected and their habitats also about their characteristics. I also learned about coral reefs and coral patches and the ways in which mankind has eliminated lots of them, but also on ways in which I can help to protect them. This program has given me a new perspective about the ocean and its children and one day I hope I too can help preserve it.
