Marine Week
South East Marine Week is a regional event organised by the Southeast Wildlife Trusts. The event run at Fort Victoria proved an outstanding success with nearly 500 visitors. Families were able to learn about the marine environment in local waters and how they can help to preserve our wildlife. It was also an opportunity to publicise the OASIS project.

Visitors were fascinated to learn about submerged landscapes and the biodiversity around shipwreck sites. Other activities included flag making and pot making, which proved so popular with visiting children that we ran out of materials by 3pm.
