3)+Pollution+Destination

Pollution Destination Welcome back to your mission! Today we are going choose our very own beach or marine park to research. The beach can be a great holiday destination to spend with your family and friends to have some fun and relax. The hot sand, the cool breeze and the clear water all contribute to a fantastic holiday. When our beaches become affected by pollution however, life threatening consequences can result. It can become too dangerous for us and the sea creatures to be in the water.
