School Visits
SSACN are very keen to help educate Scottish children about the various species of fish and their natural environments in their local waters. So far our focus has been on the Shark, Skate and Ray species as we have found the children find them the most interesting.
We have been visiting primary schools throughout Scotland running education and awareness events. All of these have so far included classroom based session, educating the children about the sharks, skates and rays in Scottish waters, what makes them different from other fish in the sea and how they have well developed senses which allow them to be effective and impressive hunters.
Linked into this, wherever possible, have been eggcase hunts where the schools have been to the beach to look for eggcases and then identify them back in the classroom.
More information on some of the school visits can be found here.
If you’d like us to come along to your school, please fill in the form at the bottom of the page and we’ll see how best we can fit you in.
Comments or questions are welcome.
