Do you cut up the plastic six-pack rings from your soda cans?  Do you put all your trash in the garbage can?

Do you know why these actions are important?  Pollution is harmful to everything, especially oceans.  Cutting the plastic six-pack rings saves sea life from getting caught in them.  If trash is not put in the right place, it can find its way to the ocean, where it is harmful to all sea life.   Oceans are an important part of our earth's ecosystem.  We need to protect them from pollution.

In this WebQuest, your small group will become an investigation team, in search of pollution's impact on the ocean and pollution solutions.  Each member of your group will take a special investigation role.  Your investigation will help you convince the town of Polluterville to stop polluting. Let the investigation begin!
