Brittany Ferries has taken yet another unique approach to ferry services this summer. Making use of all of the science that surrounds the seas, the operator has taken the chance to host a series of marine biology workshops, designed specifically at educating children. In association with research organisation Marinexus, the operator will run workshops designed to educate, entertain and provoke thought in those between 8 to 12 years old.

Youngsters will have the opportunity to learn a great deal about marine biology, from the nature of the seas and the tides, to the sea life that silently lives under the ferries that cut through the ocean every day. The workshops should allow parents to get some peace of mind, safe in the knowledge that their children are happily occupied, in a productive manner, on crossings from Plymouth to the French commune of Roscoff.

In addition, Brittany Ferries is also placing greater emphasis on the environmental impact of its ferries. One of the operator’s flagship vessels, the Armorique, has been equipped with high tech equipment that can measure sea temperature, levels of plankton and water quality. Brittany Ferries is thus taking commendable steps in an attempt to educate the young and inform the scientific community this summer.
