My name is Jaclyn and I created an archive about the Great Barrier Reef composed of a glass tube with a starfish, seashell, sand, and the archive itself in a ziplock submerged in water. This is meant to represent the constrictive area that is limited to protection yet the reef is still endangered with the growing oil industry that is forming close by. The tube is much like a sample tube that is used in the oil industry and it is limiting the space for the marine life.
I had carved a shark out of a solid wax piece to represent how sharks are the regulators of the reef populations and how they are vital to the reefs whole survival. The Great Barrier Reef became a protected zone mainly because of the shark populations that reside there. To keep the wax shark from floating and looking dead, I used fishing line and a rock to keep it submerged but still float up to a limited height.
