SPB24 CC Workshop at CEM Sitges (Center of Marine Life)

The students were divided in three groups. Each group had an expert from the Centre for Marine Studies in Sitges that explained them the characteristics of the Mediterranean see, the organisms living under water, the specifics of the underwater organisms that live in the see along the Catalonia´s coast. The students also learnt about different fish, shells and see grass we can find in this area and the challenges to preserve our sea ecosystem. The students watched a video about posidonia oceanica and its important role within the Mediterranean see ecosystem. 

They also carried out a workshop on the beach to learn more about the dangers of human actions on the beach. As a part of the beach workshop the students had to find as many different shells, plants, materials, rubbish, etc. and then with the help of the guide they tried to identify the things they had found. 

Later, the students took part in another workshop, this time inside the Centre for Marine Studies, where they tried to identify,classify, categorize and describe different organisms from the collection of the Centre for Marine Studies.

They got to know the Centre of Marine Studies, they learnt about the importance to preserve the sea ecosystem and to make a responsible use of the beach, without any waste and always being respecful with nature. They increased their knowledge about seaorganisms. They learnt about specific marine biotops, marine biodiversity and marine research that is connected to posidoniaoceanica.
