Year 6 Valuing our Estuaries and Mangroves


Today, Year Six explored the value of of our estuaries and mangroves as carbon sinks, habitats, places of recreation and flood preventatives. We listened to experts talk in a radio interview and read a newspaper article.  To check our understanding we took part in an exciting Kahoot.

Next, we wondered how we could collect data on how our local community valued and used our estuary.  We used Google Forms to devise our own surveys that we will be able give to our friends and family.  We can use the data to help inform the actions we are going to take. Take part in one of our surveys here.

We were particularly interested in finding out more about the shy Banded Rail that lives in the mangroves, but is rarely seen.
