WiseOceans Academy
WiseOceans Academy has been delivering marine education sessions for over a decade, and has taught over 10,000 students from 37 countries! Our lessons cover a wide range of topics, are suitable for varying ages and can be adapted for any additional needs. All are taught by experienced Marine Biologists.
One of the reasons our Marine Biology Club is so special is that it is taught by real life marine biologists! As well as all their knowledge and expertise about ocean habitats and animals, they are also full of stories and experiences they have had that add depth to our lessons. Here we have ten of our marine educators favourite marine facts that you will learn if you join one of our clubs.
