Letter for Ranger Yohanis

Dear Ranger Yohanis,

I hope that we can meet in Tulamben, but beacuse you were not in Tulamben at that time I will tell you a story during in person in Bali. It will be more fun and cheerful if you were in Tulamben. Tulamben is a great place, I got my certification for dive. I saw a lot of marine species that are very beautiful. When I went to underwater, it make me feel I go to another world. Liberty shipwreck will be the most irreplaceable place because it very beautiful.

I learned a lot in FLEx-1 Bali, like an introduction to Nudibranch. I never thought about it before but when I saw it, they just too cute in real. Coral plantation was very interesting. We plant a lot of coral. buyouncy still be the difficulty while I dive instead when coral plantation. Do you remember about ARMS? We saw it in Mero, it was good to know more about ARMS and we got an introduction to Elasmobranch citizen science. I like a jellyfish and the others transparence marine species. I met sea salp at the first dive. It is super cute, but do you know what things that more surprising? at the last dive I met a bunch of jellyfish. So great! Dive master said that it was the first time a jellyfish come to liberty shipwreck. 

Next is land activities, beach clean up was very fun because we not only take the trash but we also learned about how to manage our wastes. Waste management is very important for our earth. by manage the wastes we can know how the wastes are recycled. We also branding the wastes to know what is the brand who likely being trash in beach area. After we clean up the beach, we learned about how to make products from plastic waste. We learned it from Jaga Jagad, the favorite product is make a book's cover from plastic wastes. I also got an inspiration for my capstone project. I will make a book from upcycle papers and plastic wastes.
