DIVING DEEPER
"Dive deeper and explore further" - at the exciting MESA Conference! Rodney Fox, world authority, spoke about his close encounters with life in the deep!
Can we explore further? Can we help students and communities to discover and learn more about our underwater wonder world? |
Marine education is an outstanding vehicle for learning. Students are naturally excited and inquisitive about our marine world. Come and discover some innovative and stimulating teaching tools that South Australian projects are developing to show students, teachers and community groups how to dive deeper and really explore fascinating opportunities for the preservation of the marine environment.
The conference was held at the SARDI Aquatic Sciences Centre, West Beach, close to Adelaide's beautiful beaches, seaside restaurants and award winning accommodation.
The program was full of excitement! Breathtaking diving adventures, stimulating field trips, A great night was had at our "Beach Party" enjoying a South Australian seafood feast accompanied by a top covers band. |
