A fuel firm has donated $5,000 to an ocean education programme for youngsters run by the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences.
Sol Petroleum Bermuda handed the cash to the Ocean Academy marine programme.
Kaitlin Noyes, the director of Ocean Academy, said: “The suite of progressive educational opportunities offered is made possible by private support, and we are grateful for Sol Bermuda’s contribution.”
The programme was designed to teach children about the island’s marine system through hands-on lessons and improve knowledge in science, technology, engineering and maths education — known as Stem.
