On 16 February 2006 eleven students from the Codman Academy in Boston, USA, visited the Aquarium and were thoroughly impressed by our exhibits and the beauty of the Atlantic coastline. The students were treated to a packed day of ocean wonders - a guided tour of the Aquarium; an interactive lesson in one of our Discovery Centres; a rocky shore exploration and a behind-the-scenes tour.

The Codman Academy is sponsored by Sappi USA and assists students who are behind in their academic studies. Through remediation and a concentrated programme the Academy guarantees the students university entrance.
