One of the initiatives offered by ACEP is the learners on board initiative, where learners are given the opportunity to experience life at sea and work alongside scientists and ships crew. This experience offers a unique opportunity in South Africa for learners to enrich their knowledge, take part in active learning and gain life experiences beyond the reach of many. |

The theme for Marine Biosciences Month 2006 was: EXPLORING THE DEEP BLUE. This saw the start of a strong focus on marine science and an exciting competition organised by ACEP.
Learners win trip on research vessel
One of the most exciting activities during Marine Biosciences Month 2006, was an essay competition organised by the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP).
Grade 11 learners, who do science, maths and/or biology wrote about: ”The value of the deep ocean to me and my community”.
You can read the winning essays on the ACEP website.
ACEP was initiated after the discovery of coelacanths off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal by divers, in 2000.
The winners of the competition got to sail the high seas.
