Moreton Bay comprises a vast array of marine habitats, plants and animals including some of Australia’s premier wetlands. Moreton Bay EEC’s vessel, Inspiration, enables focused access to sites within Moreton Bay and on the Brisbane River. The Port of Brisbane, including its bird hide, Wynnum mangrove boardwalk and Manly and Wellington Point foreshores are key geographical and scientific locations for study. Historical program sites include St Helena Island National Park, Fort Lytton National Park and Newstead House. We ensure students are able to connect to these unique environments and work with partners resulting in authentic and enhanced student learning in science, history and geography.
