Thursday, June 8
Happy World Oceans Day to all! We celebrated the day with a school trip always hoping to continue to inspire future generations on the importance and need for a healthy marine environment. Don't forgot over 70% of the world's oxygen is produced by the ocean. We humans literally need that to survive! Our trip consisted with a variety of life including whales, sharks and plenty of bird-life attempting to feast in it all. We saw a minke whale, a highly endangered North Atlantic right whale, 3 fin whales and 8 basking sharks.
The right whale and basking sharks were busy feeding on plankton. Our fin whales were moving around but what a great opportunity to spend the day seeing both the second largest sharks in the world (the basking shark!) and the second largest animals in the world (the fin whale)!
