Question: Could you help save endangered spices like dolphins and whales or other animals that live near the beach.

Hi, what a lovely question :-).

The answer is, I really hope so. I don’t get to go out and help animals like dolphins directly (although that would be a really cool job). What I do is try and learn more about what is happening to all the animals and plants that live on or near beaches, especially ones that are endangered. If we can figure out what is causing them to become endangered, maybe we can help them. One example is I look for plastic that end up on the beach and can hurt animals…we pick it up and try to stop it getting there in the first place.
