The Save Our Seas Shark Centre has run two very successful SeaSmartKidz Holiday educational programmes from Monday 14 to Friday 18 December 2009 and Monday 4 to Friday 8 January 2009.
These SeaSmartKidz programmes build on environmental knowledge by introducing young children to sharks and the marine environment in fun and innovative ways, including intertidal studies, shark lessons, arts and crafts and learning to dive.
Head of Education of SOSSC Terry Corr says that ‘teaching children how to be Sea Smart means to instill a strong environmental ethic at a young age, which is a priority for the Save our Seas Shark Centre’.
