colors, caves and layers of coral. they made such an impression on me. when i learned that only 1 percent of australias coral sea was protected, i was shocked. australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. but sadly, only 45% of the worlds reefs are considered healthy.this statistic is depressing, so its important for us to do everything to protect them. the hope that the coral sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action. ive become involved with the protect our coral sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. it would serve as a place where the oceans species will all have a safe place forever.together, angus and i created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。在澳大利亚长大的作者对海洋有着深厚的感情，当他得知珊瑚和海洋生物正处在非常危险的状态时，他决定为保护海洋环境作出自己的努力。5from the underlined sentence in para. 1, we can learn the author _ .aseldom went surfing at
