Explanation:

What I know about estuary health check?

The people were counting the cockles and there was something wrong. And we want to investigate how many cockles are there and take care of the estuary and one way to take care of the estuary is to stop polluting.

We know that if the estuary is polluted that means there are not much cockles and shellfish. The estuary was low tide and was polluted by rubbish and other things. Cockles are somehow can’t  be found any more because some people are polluting them by destroying their homes and throwing rubbish around.

And because of that people are throwing their rubbish on there street and when it rains the rain washes it down the storm water drain it washes through the sea and polluting the sea life and the rivers. We want to find out the cockles life and why the rivers are polluted.
