Reflection

Environmental pollution has become an enormous problem nowadays. Ocean pollution is one of the main environmental issues that affect a significant portion of the ecosystem. Irrespective of the season, the peace and happiness that the sea brings to us are very precious. Our endless passion and commitment to the sea were the biggest reasons why we wanted to participate in this competition. We spent a lot of time by the sea during our school trip to Ayvalık and Cunda Island. The pollution we witnessed at the shoreside greatly disturbed us. We encountered a group of people who were raising awareness about the pollution there. After learning from them, we realized how much sea and ocean pollution is escalating day by day. This competition provided us with a great opportunity to ponder what we could do about this situation. Out of our love for the ocean and our desire to protect it, we wrote this song. The most remarkable aspect of our song is that it solely comprises melodies that evoke the feelings the ocean instills in us and the beauty of the ocean that comes to mind while listening. We hope that through our song, you can experience the perfect rhythm of the ocean, the gradual fading away, and the urgent need for action.
