01.01.2022 Yr 12 2021 | Earth and Environmental Science Year 12 Earth & Environmental Science Students Explore Sustainability Initiatives in the Port Stephens Area. Our new Year 12 Earth & Environmental Science students had a day out exploring some of the great work that is being done to enhance sustainable resource management in our local area. They began at Salamander Bay beach where they met with Maddy & Derek, Marine Scientists from the UNSW Operation Posidonia Project who are re...searching the impacts of human activities such as boating, fishing, pollution and climate change on our important sea grass meadows. Then they visited the Port Stephens Koalas hospital to learn about the conservation and community education programs they deliver, and saw first-hand the impacts of urbanisation on the rescued koalas. Finally, they visited the Port Stephens Fisheries Institute to learn about the research being done to minimise the impacts of the aquaculture and commercial fishing industries on the local marine environment. It was a really valuable experience for our budding environmental scientists to see the amazing work these organisations are doing to look after our precious natural resources for future generations. #THSEarthEnvironmentalScience
