I chose to do this project because hunger is always a problem no matter where you live, and no one deserves to go hungry or stress if they'll have food on the table or not. Most people tend to think that food scarcity is just an issue 'somewhere else' and not in their own communities. In the beginning completing this project felt nearly impossible, but I've proven myself wrong and I have a new found confidence in my own ability to make a difference and tackle challenging tasks. Being a Girl Scout is all about improving yourself and the world around you, all while making life long friendships. In my 10 years of Girl Scouts I know I've achieved all of those things and I'm proud of the person that Girl Scouts has helped make me into!

I chose my project after going to Hawai'i in 2022 with a Marine Biology course and saw all the dead coral. I think the most impactful part of that trip was standing on the beach getting instructions on an assignment and being told to "count the dead coral", because there would be no data if you didn't. That day I knew I wanted to help coral reefs somehow. It was incredible to see the project all together and see its impact, it still brings a smile to my face when I see the sticker on someone's computer, water bottle, or car especially if I don't know them.
