An excursion to Greenfields Beach on Thursday, May 4 provided the opportunity to carry out a field study of the rock platform flora and fauna.
Students collected rubbish and discussed the impact of microplastics and other pollution on the ecosystem.
Working in small groups, these students have been busily creating projects to communicate messages, raise awareness and inspire change in the local community to protect our marine environment.
These projects can incorporate many different mediums and will be on display in a showcase coming up in week 10.
A cruise aboard the Dolphin Watch catamaran on Tuesday, June 20 will finalise their research providing a unique perspective of the bay.
