ICES National Marine Science Poster CompetitionThe
competition is aimed at classes in the 7 - 10 grade who are visiting one of the
6 main Danish aquariums on a field trip in 2002. The idea is that the class or
individual groups make a poster about an aspect of their trip and studies at the
aquarium.
The six aquariums involved are: Kattegatcentret,
Fiskeri & Søfartsmuseet, Nordsømuseet,
Fjord & Bæltcentret, Danmarks
Akvarium and Øresundsakvariet.
First prize for the best poster will win the class a specially organised day trip
on the pride of the Danish Research fleet, the FRV Dana.
