Are you interested in learning about the fascinating subject of seaweeds?  Did you know seaweeds produce more than 50% of the earth's oxygen, take up 24% of the carbon dioxide we produce and that seaweed beds are the most productive on earth - four times more so than tropical rainforests or agricultural crops.  Learn from the world's best experts - Dr Alan Millar from the Royal Botanic Gardens and his former student Dr Nick Yee from Elgin Associates.  They will be joined by our own Marine Teacher Steve White. When???? Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd November 2009 from 10am - 1pm.  Ring now on 02 6496 1699 or email Steve at steven_white@internode.on.net to book your space!  Remember the workshops are FREE for community members so come and learn seaweed identification, preservation and the structure, function and importance of seaweeds to our precious marine environment.
