A group of 116 students, the finalists of the competition \u201cThe Sea of Science\u201d, have recently visited Loro Parque. A contest organized by the Atlantic Association of Oceanographers is aimed at evaluating the best projects about sea biodiversity and increasing knowledge about our oceans using scientific methods.<\/p>\n
The students who have been awarded with the \u201cRam\u00f3n Margalef\u201d and \u201cCharles Darwin\u201d prizes in representation of the Salesianos San Isidro, IES Barranco, Mar\u00eda Auxuliadora and Tom\u00e1s Morales schools enjoyed an exciting visit to the best zoo of Europe, according to TripAdvisor. As part of the visit they were able to hear about the most recent projects of Loro Parque Fundaci\u00f3n dedicated to the protection of the marine environment.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the students were able to learn first-hand about the medical training of dolphins, as well as about the daily activities of the majestic orcas in OrcaOcean. Thus, the Foundation has demonstrated, once more, its commitment to promotion of scientific research and education by taking part in the \u201cThe Sea of Science\u201d project with the purpose of providing the Canarian students with a closer look at the important work associated with the conservation of the marine life in our seas.<\/p>\n
This significant venture that counts with collaboration of the University of Las Palmas and Fred Olsen, among others, is directed at the public, subsidized and private educational centers that offer primary, secondary, high school and professional educational programs.<\/p>\n
