The Cool Seas Roadshow

The class went to the Cool Seas Roadshow. Here it is - in their own words...
We went to the Cool Seas Roadshow. It was very interesting. It had lots of information about whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks and seals.



Did you know that turtles have to go to really hot countries to lay eggs in the hot sand?


Did you know that there are7 different types of sea turtle?

Leatherbacks are the biggest and they eat jellyfish. 6 of the 7 types of turtle are endangered. You can help by adopting a turtle here.


There were posters and life-size marine animals for us to see.





  • Don’t let go of helium balloons
  • Do not let rubbish fly away in to the sea. An animal might eat it and die.





 
We really enjoyed it.





 We might be able to adopt a turtle. We hope you can help as well.

    I enjoyed reading about the Cool Seas Roadshow. I live on another island, much further south than Orkney and a lot smaller.

    I was sitting at the window drinking my coffee last week when I saw a basking shark! They are very large but harmless. It has gone now. We don't see them in winter when the sea is too cold for them.
