Explorers at the Lifetime Labs Cork

The explorers programme has returned to the Lifetime Labs in Cork for the third year running. Meryvn, Rebecca, Cian and Catherine will introduce 27 schools in Cork to the wonderful marine world that is found around our coastline. School groups will view a number of Explorer Aquariums, examine and explore a marine show and tell display and carry out a selection of Explorers experiments.

Explorer Experiences

What a busy month February was for the Explorers Group. A number of schools in Co. Clare had their aquariums stocked, I saw some beautiful Explorers Artwork and looked across to Co. Kerry from the shore near Kilbaha National School. We had a few fishy disasters and a leak, which is never a good thing in an aquarium!
