We were delighted to receive a Zoom call this morning from Rebecca in the Sea Synergy Marine Education Centre in Kerry. Rebecca's presentation was based on Irish Marine Biodiversity.

We're already looking forward to another Zoom call in two weeks time when we will show Rebecca the completed project work that she assigned us today.
