How the Water Project is Progressing

What I am discovering through this project is the affects humans have on the beach. Seeing how we pollute it and when it rains the run off goes to the bay and ocean leaving feces from animals and humans alike. When looking into other people’s research I have discovered new things to like I didn’t know the San Diego bay had 60 living sea turtles. This is a new fact to me.

I have discovered that the area I am researching doesn’t really have a strong following because there are so many crabs at the beach. People seem to pass by and care more about the seal’s, dolphins, or sea turtles. I understand the concern but we need to remember crabs are living creatures affected by the problem just like everyone else.

My next steps now that I have more info and an idea with a sketch, is to do another draft which should be followed by my final raft of the crab at the beach as a big part of the beach. I am aiming for the story behind the painting to be that crabs are just as big as we are and need to be taken care of just like we take care of other species of animals living at the beach
