Marine Stormwater Pollution
Education can make a difference to the marine environment. Did you know that most of the marine pollution has been washed into the sea from the land? Students will learn about stormwater pollution in this education program. As part of their curriculum they can reduce stormwater pollution in their school. They can present their stormwater pollution communication projects to their community.

The educational program contains a complete unit of work including teacher’s resources, curriculum materials and student activity sheets.
