SEAWEED WORKSHOPS HIT THE MARK AGAIN

Our second Seaweed Workshops were held over the weekend of 6th & 7th February and once again were fully booked out.  Dr Nick Yee was joined by staff members Steve White and Sheree Epe in sessions that showcased the importance of seaweeds in our marine environment.

The sessions involved a presentation by Nick on the science of seaweeds in the new theatrette at the Marine Discovery Centre.  The groups then moved on to the laboratory at Eden Marine High School to examine several specimens under microscopes.

Many have provided feedback to the Discovery Centre office - all of which was extremely positive.  One lady chose to join the workshops for her 45th wedding anniversary, calling today to report that the content, delivery and presenters were 'just wonderful' and hoping that she can come again.  These workshops were made possible through a Grant from the Australian Government Caring for our Country Program.
