The glowing orb in this piece by Adaline Lee (18, Virginia) is pretty mesmerizing 🌀🌀, but the hands holding each-other up might be our favorite part of her award-winning entry from our 2020 Ocean Awareness Contest 💙

"Coral reefs are currently feeling the effects of climate change as waters face high temperature, low pH, or low oxygen concentrations beyond their tolerable ranges," she wrote.

"There is no single solution—instead, we must combine efforts to increase chances of recovery.

It’s up to us whether the coral reefs dissolve into desolate seas. It’s up to us to protect what we have, to repair the already damaged ocean ecosystems. As such, it’s imperative we each lend a hand to ocean restoration efforts."
