MALVERN COLLEGE
Expedition to the Cayman Islands
Eighteen pupils and three staff learned some fascinating but hard lessons about conservation and the damage being caused to life in the ocean and on shore. They were able to dive in the waters off the islands to observe the marine life and did daily clean up sessions at the beaches to remove the plastic detritus. They saw many beautiful shoals of
fish, Great Barracuda, turtles, Lionfish, sting-ray, nurse sharks and reef sharks and could not have wished for a better learning environment. As guests of
the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) on Little Cayman, they were able to share their passion for protecting the environment and to offer practical help.
This trip contributed to CAS hours and the group 4 project for the IB.
