Hi Guys.
It's Isa here, look, I'm totally sorry, this project was intended for the Key challenge.
Fernanda, and Antonella did NOTHING of this work, I did everything :).
I was used, like always, and I guess this is the end or something, but i'm gonna start a new blog, MAYBE.
So...
Lets clean up, and save the earth.

Hello there!
It's Isa here! Our blog got nominated for the Key Challenge... so we want to let you know... our blog is 98.99% intended for girls. Just because they are girls, does not mean they are not good at campaigning, or being scientific.... yes they can!
I want to talk about invasive species and native species in Florida and the effect on our state... after being found in packing materials, in 1931 Cuban Tree Frogs have invaded Florida rapidly, and preyed on the native tree frogs... that sucks! And also, people might think green iguanas are native, because even though they were established in the 1960's, their population has increase. http://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/nonnatives/invasive-species/ a website states that "...lizard causes significant economic damage to landscape plants primarily in Miami Dade and Broward parts." Talking about that, the black spiny tail iguanas have bothered so many residents by Boca Raton, they have hired trappers to trap this nuisance!
After this you can notice what are Floridas native animals such as SOME species or manatees, birds and seaturtles. We are unleashing non native animals which are the predators to Floridas native animals... same with marine animals!
POSTLY CHALLENGE
Now that you know what native and invasive species are, I dare you to go tell at least 3 people about invasive species...!
Thanks,
Girls are the worlds best friend,

We went to the beach on Wednesday with Kaleia, the author of a mangroves book, and Marcelo, Jp, and David, creators of an app Operation: Environmental Awareness. Together we got plastic bags and cleaned up trash on the beach. What we ended up picking up was too much plastic, non biodegradable foam, toys, cigarettes, and food. Also, we interviewed random strangers, such as security guards, visitors from New Jersey, and old people. What we asked them was first "What do you think of the beaches in Key Biscayne?" and "What do you think about the trash in these beaches being washed up and killing sea turtles, manatees, and fish?"
When we interviewed a humble old lady, she said "It is our fault that WE are not acting up to clean the future for the kids." Another woman said "These beaches are fine."Well.... we don't think so due to what we found!

Other Examples Of Trash...
In the beach cleanups, we found tons of non biodegradable foam. We also found straws, bags, beer bottles, coke cans, food, etc. The beaches that we once thought of magical, in a few years will be once upon a time, there was a beach! These plastic cords can be attached to turtles, and as they struggle to grow they suffocate, marine innocent animals eat this garbage and die, sooner or later up to fish will die, and the food web will break, and our ecosystem will fail, and us humans wont have water to thrive on, and since the world would be so polluted, owe it all to us, we can't eat plants. So in the future, if this littering, and marine animal death proceeds, and gets worse, we'll be dead to.
And this is not just in Key Biscayne, this is already rapidly growing over the world! The book "Why Pi?" By Johnny Ball states that "The UK can fill a olympic swimming pool with trash every four minutes." Imagine this in Asia, with the biggest population. Personal experience, my stepbrother lives in Shanghai, and he has to wear a mask because it is so polluted.
So why can't we stop being so lazy? Let's do a doable challenge. I mega dog dare you to get a plastic bag, and clean up 20 pieces of trash You have until Friday, comment if you will do this! We will appreciate it very much! Lend a hand to the beaches, lend a hand to the world.

I have had personal experience with this trash. I also took my dog to this beach with my family, only to find plastic bags, beer bottles, plastic caps, and broken pieces of sand along with raw meat, and warnings of not to go inside the water, unless I wanted to be injured by the jagged pieces of glass and plastic! I have a question... Is this what the beach has begun?

On Friday, us three girls went from a building in Key Biscayne to the lighthouse, picking up trash in the sand, near animals, in clumps of seagrass. Along the way, we found a lot of wood and cigarettes, up to used toothbrushes and toothpaste, and Bar-B-Q covered forks, plastic, and my least favorite- FOAM. Foam is not biodegradable so it is super bad for the environment. It was a great approximately 3 hours of cleaning up the beach, squeezing natural sponges, and looking at birds!!! And JELLYFISH...!
