Marine science fieldwork on Mangroves

Getting up close and personal with mangrove ecosystems
The marine science A level taught by TRACC each year has lots of practicals so students get fieldwork experience in a wide range of ecosystems.

Update Overall results 2015 are awesome plus Tom Gibson was the best marine science student in the world.

These are some of the photos taken during our trips to study mangrove forests.

Other field trips studied Fisheries, Rockyshores, Coasts, plus underwater biodiversity and ecology studies.

 The 2016 Marine Science A-level will be running from 18th January - 2nd May (following the Cambridge exam timetable).

which are producing roots before they leave the tree.

The best way to understand mangroves
is to get up close and personal with the mud
