Careers in Marine Science

The students have nearly completed their first youth education program based in the Under the sea with Nemo and Friends aquarium. 

They have been making observations of marine animal behaviour. They have seen all the wonderful marine life in the aquarium which holds around 15 million litres of salt water. All the salt water is produced on site rather than being pumped from the ocean.

The students have also had a classroom session where they had to diagnose a health issue with different marine animals given symptoms and a key to major problems.

The students have been able to go backstage and look at how the aquarium runs. We have seen manatees and bottle nose dolphins up close. Unfortunately we can't take photos behind the scenes but the students have some great memories. 

For the rest if the day the students are going to enjoy disney. More updates and photos tonight.
