2022 Science Without Borders® Challenge Semi-Finalists: 11-14 year old students
The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is pleased to announce the semi-finalists in our 2022 Science Without Borders® Challenge! This international student art contest engages students in important ocean issues through art. For this year’s competition, students were asked to illustrate one or more actions people can take to protect coral reefs using a “Ridge to Reef”conservation approach.
Entries to the Science Without Borders® Challenge are judged in two categories based on age. Here are the semi-finalists selected from the younger group of applicants, students 11-14 years old:
"All Happy Beach (Fishers, Sea Creatures, and 'Coral reefs')" by Seyoon Park, Age 13, Republic ofKorea "All Happy Beach (Fishers, Sea Creatures, and 'Coral reefs')" by Seyoon Park, Age 13, Republic ofKorea
I thought setting regulations and rules for fishers will help a lot in conserving coral reefs.I wrote regulations that the goverment ought to establish on the flying books. Next to them, I painted people following those. The white man bearing the green license which is issued by goverment, the Asian woman taking only two fishes out from the fishing zone following rules, and the black man releasing the fish which was smaller than 32cm. Also people fished in the ‘allowed fishing zone’. The reason I drew people from all different races is because I thought all the people ought to follow these regulations in order to protect coral reefs. Fishing can be very harmful to coral reefs, they can either damage the coral reefs or eliminate the species that inhabit those reefs. To prevent this all goverments MUST establish regulations for fishers. This is why I painted this.
