Students from Brixham Community College have been enjoying visits to Berry Head NNR and Shoalstone Beach to learn more about the Marine Environment and Climate Change.
90 students have taken part in the Splosh project, carrying out a survey at Shoalstone looking for 'Alien Invaders' and 'Climate Change Indicators' such as Slipper Limpets and Strawberry Anemones. The students then learned more about glocal warming, performing their own imaginary news story of the future representing different groups from businesses and tourism to fishermen and local people. The pupil worked really hard on the visits and showed a really good understanding of climate change and how they could help to minimise their impact on the planet.
A group of up to 15 students will then be chosen to work with local artist Kate Green to create a display from different photographic images for the Berry Head visitor centre and some art work to take home, all inspired by their visit.
