Indonesia, Bangka Island!

On Bangka Island the season 2019 has started, therefore also the work with the local kids. The focus of this event was to introduce the coral reef and to spot and study selected inhabitants. That was done first in tanks and dissection microscopes and then directly in the water. The work was lead by members of AQUEIS e.V., which were supported by six volunteers of the NGO Seasoldiers and staff of CoralEye. The activity also mark the beginning the cooperation of Seasoldiers, the local Junior High School with headmaster Jody, CoralEye and AQUEIS e.V. Weekly lessons will now be prepared and tought by the Seasoldiers. For the kids it will be possible to experience the ecosystems in the sea (coral reef, seagrass meadows) and on land (beach, mangroves) in a comprehensive approach. We are looking forward to the cooperation.
