Activities are given for each of the Key Learning Areas. Activities can be adapted by teachers to suit local environments and meet a range of learning outcomes at different levels in the National Profiles. Where is it is possible for students to directly experience the marine life of their state of region, students can actively engage in marine biodiversity exploration. A visit to the coast can be linked to all key learning areas. Seek out advise on local opportunities from your state MESA branch, MCCN, or Coastcare.
Many States have field study centres that conduct marine biodiversity programs.
Take care to read tide charts. Never turn your back on the sea. Be aware of potentially dangerous marine creatures and make sure that you are aware of the appropriate first aid treatment. Make sure that you have adequate protection from the sun and plenty of drinking water. Please treat all marine life with great care.
