When Drew Mascotti graduated from high school, he got a job delivering （送） pizzas. But soon he realized that it wasn't what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took n night class at a local tech school to see if welding （焊接） — which joins two metals together with heat —was a skill that "was going to stick. "

It did. Mascotti wanted to learn everything about welding and decided he'd make welding his career.

But one night class wouldn't be enough. Mascotti went to Hobart Welding School in Ohio for real, technical training. Besides welding courses, Mascotti also took classes in subjects like metallurgy—the study of metal — and reading blueprints. He became more certain that he would stick to the job.

For the past 18 years, Mascotti has been a welder, He now works for the EEW Group. The company has a big project to carry out. It's in the process. of opening a factory that will produce monopiles for offshore wind turbines （涡轮机）. Wind turbines produce eco-friendly electricity.

A typical day for Mascotti includes a number of tasks and kills. One minute, he's driving a forklift. The next, he's reading blueprints, or cutting materials, "There are a lot to deal with," he told Time for Kids. "It's not just welding. "

Mascotti's favorite part of being a welder is "making an honest living". He also takes pride in helping the environment. "I'm glad to stick to what I really want to do," he says. "I'm working for a company that is helping the country to go green, and it's satisfying to be a part of that process. "

Seagrass, an underwater plant that grows on the ocean floor, is very important for sea life. It also helps prevent global warming by storing carbon, a harmful gas. However, scientists don't know exactly how much seagrass is at the bottom of the ocean. With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world's largest seagrass meadow (grassland) on the seafloor near the Bahamas.

Seagrass meadows are home to many different kinds of fish, shellfish and so on, Large sea animals, such as sharks, also spend a lot of time there looking for food. Seagrass can grow in very as deep and dark waters making it difficult to find. But sharks can dive deep into the water and get to the areas people cannot reach.

After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations of the plants. The researchers fitted seven tiger sharks with cameras. Since tiger sharks swim in groups, they placed satellite tracking tags （卫星跟踪器） on eight other sharks to find out exactly where the animals swam. They collected hours of videos of the tiger sharks swimming through seagrass.

The researchers found more seagrass growing near the Bahamas than they expected-in fact, they believe that there is more seagrass there than anywhere else on Earth. The new finding increased the total number of seagrass known to exist by 41%. However, more research is needed to discover the true size of the seagrass meadow.

Scientists often depend on findings from divers and boats to study about the underwater world, but this team found that working with animals improved their understanding. They are now placing cameras on sea turtles. to study seagrass in the Red Sea. Hopefully, more mysteries about seagrass will be solved.
