Seventh-grade pupils visited the Marine Research Center of the "Ruđer Bošković" Institute in Rovinj, where they were greeted by experts on macroalgae of the Adriatic Sea. During an interesting lecture in the "wet" laboratory, pupils saw live examples of endemic Adriatic algae, learned interesting facts about their ecology and the importance of their preservation for the living world of the Adriatic. The pupils felt the algae themselves, and of course, found out which species can be eaten. They also found out what efforts are being made to restore the populations of certain endemic species to our Adriatic, and they also observed open-air pools for the cultivation of certain species. An interesting interactive lecture was followed by an inspection of the aquarium and a farewell. Many thanks to the Center and the experts for the interesting lectures, and we hope for further cooperation!
