Beach & Ocean Appreciation, Wednesday, Period 3
So Australia was playing the Netherlands at the World Cup, and Herc wasn't a huge football fan or anything, but he knew enough to decide to just not look at that. Much the way one might not look at a car wreck. It was better for everyone.
Instead, he had brought photos of coral reefs to pass around to the students as he said, "Here's a fun fact for you: coral reefs cover point one percent of the ocean's floor, yet contain a quarter of the ocean's known biodiversity. Now, I, personally, think that's really cool." It probably had something to do with the giant one that uh...hadn't done so well what with the kaijuu and all. "Coral reefs thrive despite the fact that the waters they're found in tend to be very nutrient-poor by recycling nutrients, making them a very efficient system. And that's your fun fact for the day. The rest of your class period is assigned to what this class is all about: enjoying the beach. Have fun."
