O'Neill Marine Environment Activities
by George Mojo
29/07/2005:// Three Cornish surf stars have helped schoolchildren in the county to be in a class of their own when it comes to the local environment.
Sam Lamiroy, Jake Boex and Robyn Davies along with South African Duncan Scott spent a week with the youngsters and Surfers Against Sewage for the O'Neill Marine Environment Activities event in Falmouth.
Based at the National Maritime Museum, the extravangza included an environmental boat trip on the regions fastest R.I.B. to learn more about Cornwall's unique marine environment and the creatures it sustains.
There was also a fun art based workshop where each class worked on creating an 'environmentally protected beach scene' banner which they can take back to their school at the end of the day.
The five school classes involved in this project all earned their places through hard work during the school year. They designed a range of projects that looked to safeguard and protect the marine environment from pollution.
As well as SAS campaigners, the children got to meet some of the UK's top surfers from the O'Neill team.
Sam Lamiroy, Robyn Davies, Jake Boex and Duncan Scott shared their surfing experiences with the children throughout the week, in particular the roles they play in promoting the clean seas message.
Having experienced both the good, the bad and the downright ugly of water quality during surf sessions they spoke of being some of the first people affected by pollution incidents.
The five winning school classes and the days they were with us in Falmouth were:
Monday 18th July - Cubert School, near Newquay, Cornwall Tuesday 19th July - Laira Green School, near Plymouth, Devon Wednesday 20th July - Devoran School, near Truro, Cornwall Thursday 21st July - Penzance Junior School, Cornwall Friday 22nd July - Trevithick Junior School, Camborne, Cornwall
Andy Cummins, SAS Campaigner and Event Organiser says: "This was the first time we provided a resource for primary schools in the form of this project and we're stoked with how the week went. It was not only fun for the kids but highly educational in terms of protecting the environment and we're looking forward to doing the same again next year".
