Marine Ecology Grade 9/10 Duration: 4 days Limit: 20 students
This program is designed to immerse students in practical experiences and conduct research in a wide range of marine issues. Each day, students spend time around the Centre as well as collecting oceanographic and biodiversity data at a number of sites in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel from the RV Penghana. As well as spending a lot of time in the field students may take part in role plays, design experiments, prepare species profiles or scientific posters. During each program we arrange for a scientist from one of our national or state research facilities (CSIRO, AAD, TAFI, UTAS & IMAS) to spend time with the students, explaining their own research as well as helping them to understand the data the students have collected in the Channel.
Motor Boat Licence Duration: 3 days Limit: 8 students
Our skipper Tim Nossiter is accredited by Marine & Safety Tasmania to give practical and theory lessons leading to a Motor Boat Licence. Tim is also an accredited examiner of the MAST Motor Boat Licence Test and so on completion of the course students are able to sit the Licence Test at the Centre. NOTE: There is a Provisional Licence fee of $7.00 per student which is forwarded by the Centre to MAST
