I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Half Moon Bay, I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.

For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reef have more marine species than any other country on the earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.

This statistic is depressing, so it's important to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco system has led me to take action. I’ve become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.

Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean and trying to find the species.

"No． Redundant，" he answered， looking away from me．

"OK． We'll figure it out，" I replied calmly． I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out． I immediately started to think of how we'd cut costs and who we should start to get in touch with． That night， after David had fallen asleep， I cried myself to sleep， and frequently sobbed（抽泣） in the shower in the days that followed．

It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment． One night several weeks after he lost his job， David woke me just before midnight， sweating， pacing the bedroom floor and saying he didn't feel well． We spent the night in the emergency room waiting to see if he had a heart attack． Thankfully， it was just a serious anxiety attack． It was then that I knew I needed to do more to understand what my husband was going through． Here is what I learned from my own experience﹣ and from talking to experts﹣ on how to support your loved ones through a job loss．
