Florida-bound: Marine Biology Trip

Posted on: March 4th, 2014

On Friday, March 7th, eighteen grade 11 students will be embarking on an eight day tropical adventure in the Florida Keys. These students will be immersed in the local flora and fauna of the coral reefs that surround the Keys. Through kayaking, snorkeling and hiking, they hope to learn first-hand about this fragile and beautiful ecosystem.

To give you a taste of what educational adventures await them, fiest your eyes on this stunning highlight video from the 2012 trip, produced by alumnus Ben Wong. Best viewed full screen in HD.

Wish you were headed to the beach to study ocean life? You can follow their day-to-day activities through the trip blog. They hope to post photos, videos, and details about their experiences along the way:
