Caribbean Beach Observation Report
On June 19, 2016 I was in Puerto Morelos next to the Caribbean Sea. I woke up at 6:30 am and went for a walk on the beach for half an hour as the sun was rising and the seaweed cleaners were working. The geology of the beach was smooth without shells and then there were some patches of rocky areas on the shore. Then around noon my sister and I went snorkeling in the sea and we saw turtles and schools of fishes moving in and out of coral reefs. The farther you got out in the sea it gets dark and deeper but some parts are shallow and clear. As I am sitting alone on the beach I can hear waves, birds, seaweed tractor, and people talking. The beach is well kept of the natural things that come up to shore like the seaweed. The unnatural structures
are hotels and homes and among them were jungles and patches of brush. If you could go back 25 years ago there would be less algae due to warmer weather, clearer water, and land. Around 200 years ago there would’ve been native people who would use the land within their towns and villages and there was probably no pollution. 20,000 years ago the beach most likely was wider because there was less erosion and it was full of jungles and wild animals.
