Marvellous mangroves


Salt and fresh water experiment.

Cleaning up an oil spill is difficult!

Making a food web, the mangroves are vital!

Wow plankton is awesome!

Who can see the jellyfish, anemones, seahorses?


We got VERY close to the mangrove roots!


We have had three days of Mangrove education and it has been awesome! Miss Marnie from Sea Elements taught us all about the importance of the mangroves around our shores. We watched videos, did experiments, used microscopes and had a trip out into North Sound to see the mangroves close up. We also learned all about the coral reef and some of the endangered creatures that are out there. CUC even came and gave us a safety demonstration about electricity.
