Our SEA LIFE workshops provide a unique opportunity to honor, help protect, and conserve our world's shared oceans.
Our workshops have a cross-curricular approach, with particular focus on:
- Science (Adaptation, Inheritance, Evolution and Variation, Biological Processes, Marine Wildlife, Welfare and Conservation)
- Geography (Oceans Around the World, Ocean Habitats, Human Impact on the Ocean)
- Literacy (Comprehension and Inference, Reading, Creative Writing Inspired by Wildlife)
