From the students via their appreciative teachers, these comments on what a typical group of students learned from Phillipe and the folks at Seattle Acquarium:

 My students enjoyed learning about and seeing some of the unique fish and sea creatures at the aquarium that they had never seen. They ALL learned about:

why you should leave shells on the beach (for the hermit crabs) 

 that corral can be many different colors because of the algae.

I learned that coral can be any color.

I learned that we should not eat certain fish because there may not be enough of them and that we shouldn’t pollute.

There are over 100 octopi.
