Home School Excursion - Students and their parents will investigate the impact of human activity on the reduction of biodiversity and ecosystem change through a presentation at the Marine Discovery Centre and a guided walk over beaches and dune forests, mangroves and rocky shore. During the walk we consider three vital questions: Why is the ecosystem important? What are the major human impacts? What are some potential solutions?

Ticket includes one child and one parent. Additional children at $22.50 and additional parents at $15.00 per person. The session caters to children aged 5 - 15 years. Minimum numbers apply.
