The Water Project that we have been involved in for the past week or two is a really open ended project. With the various water testing outings that we must embark on, we are left to devise an article, movie, art, writing piece of our own relating to something having to do with San Diego's beaches and at least one social issue.
My project is going to be on pollution (trash) rates, and if they have been going up or down in major tourist beaches like Coronado compared to more filthily known beaches such as Dog Beach in Ocean Beach.
The resources that I will need for this project will be a camera, to record interviews with people that will be mentioned later, a computer with ample video editing software, and a picture camera, in case the need arises for still frames in the video. The people that I would like to interview would be some people from Surfrider, and people that commonly pick up trash with them. I would also like to ask anyone else who are common beach goers. I am not sure who these people would be, but I just need people who would know about the rates of trash, and whether there used to be more out over the beach or if there is more currently being put out.
Now, I am supposed to create a specific as possible scheduel for the next two weeks, labeling each thing that I am going to do each day. This is troubling to me. The only thing that I know for sure would be that I am going to dog beach the 22nd, in order to talk to some of the Surfrider people, and to get good footage of trash pickup, and possibly pictures. Some other things that I need to do would be to organize some trips to Coronado for water sampling there, because me, and another classmate, are working on something relating to those beaches, and there are no yet planned trips to get water tested there. I would probably do that next week, and over the weekend. Now that I think of it, (starting to ramble to myself) I am going to ask my biology teacher tomorrow about taking trips to Coronado for water testing, and find the chemical composition of that water, to compare it with Dog Beach, which is already being tested. Then, sometime this weekend, ask my father, who is one of the parent drivers, if he is available to drive us up sometime next week to Coronado, for said testing. While there I could maybe get some video or pictures. So far that is the scheduel that I have, and plan on hopefully making it more specific later, or improvising a whole lot within the coming weeks.
