While there are only four oceans, there are many more than seven seas! Choose a sea or gulf and describe it for the class. Be sure to include its location, how it formed, its size, and any other significant facts about it. In what ways do humans utilize this body of water and any resources it might contain? What is the biggest environmental issue facing it, and what (if anything) is currently being done to fix the problem? You can’t choose a sea or gulf that has been chosen by another classmate, of course!
