Marine Education for Children in Africa

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Working in partnership with the local aquarium we are running an outreach program where we take sea life into township school and run fun and interactive lessons to educate children about the ocean, often for the first time. Engaging them in the issues to help us tackle plastics and what to do if they come across wildlife in distress. This project also promotes a whole new avenue of education in Marine Science.
