Outreach is an integral part of the education programme at Bayworld and is geared towards learners from grades 0 to 7. A number of schools within Nelson Mandela Bay and the surrounding areas find it economically challenging to visit the facility. Many have never seen the ocean. With the Outreach Programme, the sea is literally taken to the learners in the form of actual sea sand, shells and seawater. The learners can then experience the sea by seeing, touching, tasting and smelling. Structured lessons consist of presentations about animal classification, habitation, feeding and conservation. Posters, worksheets and mounted specimens make the lessons even more visual and interactive.
