Marine biologist says few children experience nature first hand at school
A former marine biologist says it's 'very sad' that more pupils don't get a chance to experience wildlife and nature first hand as part of the schools' curriculum.
Dr Jeremy Paul, who worked in the marine biology field before becoming a wildlife artist, says very few schoolchildren are taken to look at wildlife as part of their lessons.
Dr Paul spent time at the Marine Biological Station in Port Erin while studying the subject.
He says getting first hand experience of wildlife as a child got him interested in learning more about the topic:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
