Hi, I'm Alexander Gould, 
the voice of Nemo
from Finding Nemo

[0:00:22.42]
Alexander
While I was working on the movie
I discovered the amazing coral reefs,
and the awesome creatures
 that live there

[0:00:28.25]
Alexander
Come on, I'll show you.
It's going to be great.

[0:00:30.89]
Alexander
Does everybody have 
their flotation devices on?

[0:00:33.40]
Girl #1
Why do we have to 
wear these things anyway?

[0:00:35.12]
Alexander
Because wearing a flotation device 
will keep you from getting tired

[0:00:38.71]
Alexander
and from standing on the coral

[0:00:40.34]
Alexander
that will hurt it, 
and maybe even kill it

[0:00:42.84]
Alexander
Everyone ready?
Let's go!

[0:01:31.25]
Girl #1
So what ARE corals?

[0:01:32.55]
Alexander
Corals are living animals...

[0:01:34.92]
Alexander
...just like you and me.

[0:01:36.17]
Girl #1
Ooh, that's cool.
can I take a piece home?

[0:01:39.58]
Alexander
No.
If you break it, you'll kill it

[0:01:42.35]
Girl #1
Just a little piece?

[0:01:44.01]
Alexander
Imagine if EVERYONE 
took just a little piece...

[0:01:47.35]
Alexander
...pretty soon, 
they'll be no coral left

[0:01:50.48]
Girl #1
Oh, I never thought of that.

[0:01:52.55]
Boy #1
I heard that there are more types 
of plants and animals on a coral reef
than anywhere else in the ocean

[0:01:57.94]
Alexander
That's true.
They're the rainforests of the sea.

[0:02:03.47]
Boy #2
Whoa, look at THAT fish!

[0:02:05.56]
Boy #3
Oh that's the Aholehole fish.
You know, he only lives 
here in Hawaii.

[0:02:10.86]
Boy #2
COOL!

[0:02:12.25]
Boy #1
Actually, 25% of all marine life 
live only here

[0:02:20.00]
Boy #4
What happened 
to the beautiful coral?

[0:02:22.29]
Girl #2
Yeah, and where did 
all the fish go?

[0:02:25.73]
Alexander
Well, many coral reefs
 are in trouble...

[0:02:29.36]
Alexander
Pollution, 
overfishing, 
alien species, and other things,

[0:02:33.89]
Alexander
are hurting, and even killing,
our coral reefs

[0:02:38.00]
Alexander
but we can help, 
and  make a difference,
in saving our reefs

[0:02:42.51]
Alexander
Ask your teachers and parents
how you can help,

[0:02:46.00]
Alexander
and get involved.

[0:03:01.86]
Alexander
See all the sand?
And those waves out there too?

[0:03:05.07]
Alexander
These all came from those 
beautiful reefs that you just saw.

[0:03:08.09]
Girl #3
Really?

[0:03:09.16]
Alexander
Yeah, and that's why 
we need to be really careful 
about taking care of our reefs.

[0:03:13.07]
Alexander
Remember, there are 
things we can do 
to make a difference.

[0:03:15.94]
Boy #5
Yeah, like don't feed fish, 
they can find their own food.

[0:03:19.03]
Alexander
Right.

[0:03:20.04]
Girl #1
and don't forget to 
wear your floating things

[0:03:21.73]
Girl #4
Hey Alexander, 
I see you forgot something.

[0:03:24.17]
Alexander
Oh yeah, and please remember
 to pick up trash
to keep our beaches 
and our oceans clean

[0:03:29.21]
Girl #5
Malama ke kai means Take care of the ocean,

[0:03:31.87]
Girl #5
and remember, whatever you 
do at home will affect our reefs.

[0:03:36.32]
Alexander
Let's work together
 to save our coral reefs.

[0:03:38.19]
Alexander
I've got a lot of friends down there!

[0:03:40.22]
Girl #1
C'mon I'll race you back in!
