Description
Promoted Feature - For the last two years, I have been visiting in schools across the UK and Ireland aiming to teach pupils and teachers about the marine environment. Under the banner of WhaleFest, the world's largest marine festival, I visit schools and festivals with a life-size inflatable orca (aka a killer whale) aiming to enthuse people about the sea.
