Every time we leave the boat we are learning. Learning about the countries and cultures we visit, the different biomes, ecosystems, and habitats the animal species we encounter live in. The diversity of the underwater life we see. The weather patterns and the difference they make to how people live and the languages spoken.

Nathan and Dylan want to share these learning experiences with children around the world by making easy to understand, short films on a variety of different subjects, that they research, narrate and help produce. They wanted to call this series “Adventure School”

Welcome to Episode 1 of “Adventure School” which is all about Mangroves and how important they are to our planet.

Before we found out more about mangroves we did not realise what an impact they make to reduce global warming. Did you know that a patch of mangrove trees can remove 10 times more carbon from the atmosphere as the same size patch of terrestrial forest can. They also play a vital role in providing a safe nursery for fish and small marine animals. Their most important function is acting as a buffer to coastlines against strong waves, and storm surges.

Dylan and Nathan researched Mangroves on their own and then came together to compare the facts they found in order to put together this video. We then took them out into the mangroves to film and see all the things they had read about. The drone footage shows the vast area of mangroves we are currently in and how lush and dense the forest around us is.

We were also very lucky to come across a sloth sleeping in the mangrove trees. We were within a meter of him, and he was not one bit worried about our presence.

We will be bringing out a range of different subjects over our adventure, so make sure you keep coming back to check if there are any subjects that may help you with your learning.

Our next “Adventure School” Episode will be on Coral Reefs.

We really hope you enjoyed our video!
