Juying Primary School - S.E.A. AQUARIUM ECO SKIT COMPETITION 2017

Ocean Revolution imparts a powerful message to everyone about the importance of conserving and protecting marine animals. Told from the perspective of the sea creatures themselves, the leatherback turtle sets the stage citing an imbalance in the marine ecosystem. This imbalance is due to Man’s harmful activities such as consumption of turtle eggs, improper disposal of plastic waste and irresponsible fishing activities that result in lower numbers of leatherback turtles. With lesser leather back turtles, the jellyfish are able to flourish in larger numbers thus overtaking the food source of planktons that are meant for the whales. This also leads to a whole host of other problems.

From the great council meeting with four of the biggest sea creatures, arose an unlikely little superhero in the form of a seahorse. The seahorse was able to provide an ingenious solution to address the imbalance in the marine ecosystem caused by the disruption in the food chains.

Narrated through rhyming poetry, captivating movements and enthralling music, the cast of Juying’s G.R.I.T (Green Revolution Initiative Team) hopes to raise awareness of the plight of endangered marine animals such as the leatherback turtles and to garner the support of Man to conserve and protect the marine animals in our Ocean Revolution.
