BCS pupils at the loughshore

Biology Fieldwork in Portaferry

AS Biology students visited Portaferry to conduct Biology fieldwork on the shore of Ballyhenry. They set off in their waterproof gear ready for a day of adventure. During the morning the students set up a line transect to investigate the different species of seaweed living on the shore. After lunch, they headed into Exploris Aquarium for a guided tour through the fascinating exhibits. The tour ended by visiting the seal hospital and seeing the lovely penguins and otters.

A great day out had by all.
