Learning how to protect our oceans

We were very lucky to be visited in school by Mrs Smith who works for Cefas, an organisation involved in marine science and technology. Mrs Smith told us about her work and how marine life can be protected from elements like plastic pollution and noise/motion pollution from wind turbines and boat traffic. We were able to look at how long different types of pollution take to break down in our seas and the types of changes we can make to reduce the amount of plastic that we use. We were very interested in the 2 Minute Beach Clean initiative which we decided we could be a part of during our school trip to Gt Yarmouth.
