\"yr-2-sharks-dec-2014Healthy Reefs Need Sharks! \u00a0This is what Year 2 learnt when Jackie, from Amanyara\u2019s Nature Discovery Centre<\/em>, came into Osprey class last week. We were lucky enough to look at some photographs of sharks that live in and travel through the Turks and Caicos Islands, as well as hear a story about Shark Stanley and his friends, Waqi the Whitetip, Manta Reigna, and Pierre the Porbeagle who battle to save the Coral Reef.<\/p>\n

Jackie at Amanyara\u2019s Nature Discovery Centre<\/em> is working alongside DEMA and other individuals to raise awareness of how important sharks are, not only to the ocean worldwide but our waters in the TCI.\u00a0 She says \u201cWe are trying to get the word out in TCI about why we should care about our sharks, why they\u2019re important, and trying to find out what people think about sharks. Conservation is key, and we want to eventually educate the community about how we can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osprey class were left with a lot to think about – our opinions of sharks, and the impact they have on the oceans around us, have really changed for the better.<\/p>\n
