short writing

Watch this fascinating presentation by oceanographer David Gallo about how underwater creatures behave in their environment. His research makes us aware of how much we have yet to learn about this part of the planet. Do you think countries around the world should contribute to this type of research? How would learning about animal and plant life under the seas and oceans make life better for us on land? Post once and respond to your classmates at least two more times over the next week. Feel free to contribute any related material to the discussion. Remember to address classmates by name and use standardized English (no slang). Write in complete sentences and check for spelling, grammar or mechanical errors.
