I went to Dry Tortugas National Park this summer. It's the farthest Florida Key and is at least a 70-mile boat or plane trip. This year is the park's 100th anniversary and I was so excited, and scared, to go. It was established because once Ponce de León caught around 160 turtles there. Also, what makes this park unique is that 99% of it is under water and since the water is so shallow there are many shipwrecks. I love fish and all but seaweed, on the other hand, is one of my biggest fears.
The next day, I woke up and went to the place that the ferry would pick me up at. The park provided the ferry ride. The ferry was named the Yankee Freedom III. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be and it looked pretty nice inside. When I sat down, a few moments later a girl named Chloe sat next to me.

I could see Fort Jefferson, the moat around it, the islands, and how shallow the water actually was. Around 2 minutes later we finally landed. The first thing I did was grab my bags and went into Fort Jefferson. On my way there I passed the boat docks. Inside of Fort Jefferson, there were lots of trees, signs, benches, people, and a lot of things and I had no idea what they were.
After that, I went to the area that I could set up my tent in. I ended up next to Chole. I decided that since it was still slightly early, it would be a good idea to go snorkeling. I asked Chloe if she wanted to go with me because it was shallow water, which meant the seaweed was close to me. We threw on our swimsuits in our tents, walked to the water and dove in it.
We snorkeled around the island and saw some Amberjack, Grouper, Blackfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Dolphins (Mahi-Mahi), Cobia, Kingfish, Mutton Snappers, Permits, Red Snappers, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Swordfish. After about an hour or two, it started to
After all of that we we’re getting on the plane. We found our sets and sat in them and buckled up we were ready for our flight. Were on a plane I was really excited about the trip, when we took off it was going down the runway faster and faster then all of a the sudden the plane was going up off the ground then we were in the sky floating forward. Then the plane was going fast whenever I looked out the window everything on land and not in the air looked tiny it was an amazing site from up above. It felt like we were flying with the birds.
After we got off our boat we went to a beautiful aquarium. We saw so many exquisite animals, and some animals, like the snakes were just super creepy. I hated walking through the snake exhibit, it felt as if they were all staring me down, getting ready to strike at me. I swore after that, I would never go anywhere that snakes were.

A group of decided we wanted to go parasailing so we all chipped in and got tickets to go. Four of us, girls, and other passengers got on this speed boat and sped off far enough to catch good air for the parachute. A couple of people were ahead of us so we got to see what we were going to expect and hear the people's opinion on how it went when it was finally our turn to go up.

In the article, " Can Desert the Tortoise Be Saves," the author, Mackenzie Carro reports that baby tortoises in the Mojave Desert are being killed and eaten by ravens, but this can be fixed. In the Mohave Desert, ravens are killing and eating baby tortoises. The raven population has increased over the past 50 years, as more people moved to the areas surrounding the desert, more trash accumulated, which the ravens came to eat. Also, the amount of telephone wires and fences increased as the population of that area grew, which also caused ravens to come, so they could nest on the telephone wires and fences. The Desert Tortoise's population is now decreasing, and is in danger of being gone forever. Nevertheless, conservationists like Tim Shield
