B.U.D.D.I.

... and the coral reef 🌊 has become so polluted that the coral is starting to lose its color, and the clownfish 🐠 has no sea anemone to live in! Choose your favorite junior scientist 🧑‍🔬, grab your floaty animal, and set forth into the sea, recycling all trash you find using a very reliable underwater trash bin ♻️. Recycle all the trash in a coral habitat to make the sea anemone grow back, and you will be able to guide the clownfish back to its home 🏠.

The senior scientists need your help too! That's why you've been equipped with the B.U.D.D.I. (Biometric Underwater Deep Dive Instrument) 📟. After the coral is cleaned, the B.U.D.D.I. will gather a report and stay behind to monitor the coral's health 📊 as you continue in your job, which is to clean the entire coral reef. But watch out for jellyfish! Jellyfish need a clean habitat too, but they don't necessarily know you're here to help, and they have stingers ⚡ that protect them from anything that gets in their way.
