🦀We’ve had lots of fun with Explorers Education Programme this week and the schools who came to visit!

🪸The classes have enjoyed observing some of our native sea life that call our shallow waters home. Our two spotted dog fish are very popular!

🐋We’ve discovered the sizes of some of the marine life that are found off the coast of Ireland, we even measured the size of a blue whale against students from St Michael’s!

🔬Our young marine scientists explored food webs and examined plankton under the microscope and even had marine animal quiz relay races!
