Mermaid at the Reef

Mermaid at the Reef

This drawing is based on our granddaughter.  She turns 3 tomorrow.  If you are wondering about the sizes remember that she is only three years old. . . or will be tomorrow.  Then again, if mermaids were real it might make sense for them to be smaller than humans.  That might explain why they have stayed hidden from us for so long.  

We all need to be aware of the importance of our coral reefs.  Many reefs are dying due to increased temperatures caused by global warming.   Coral reefs protect coastlines from erosion caused by wave action.  They are the most diverse ecosystem in the world as well.  Some marine animals are being studied as a possible source of life saving medicines.
