Marine+Discovery+Tour-Fossils.+Fish+and+Floods

A visit with a difference: U3A members were recently treated to a rare opportunity to experience many of the wonderful learning opportunities that are on offer at the Sapphire Coast Marine Discovery Centre at Eden. Rose Lyons shows U3A members the art of dissecting a fish, watched on by Jennie Smith and other U3A members. This was just one of the fascinating activities on the day, which included viewing a variety of local marine life in tanks and watching them being fed. There was also a tsunami demonstration, where members learned about when tsunamis have reached the coast and which are the safest areas to build to avoid being affected by a tsunami. This was followed by a demonstration about fossils and then members looked at the range of interactive displays about our local marine environment. Jillian and Alan, from the Centre, were very knowledgeable and helpful in their demonstrations on the day. This Centre is well worth the visit for all those that are interested in our local Coast and Marine life.
