Teachers Information
This was the book my students used when they went to on a reef trip. Had to be filled in by second last day - if all correct and by an oral exam I was able to see if the work was their own, they got the last day off to absorb wonders of the reef.
The following content is in FIRST DRAFT - all comments welcome
