Hundreds of students have been able to explore Bermuda’s “exquisite” coral reefs thanks to generous fuel donations.

Bermuda Zoological Society said diesel for their bus and floating classroom, the Endurance, had helped them to take pupils to Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo and out on the water for free conservation and environmental classes for the past three years.

Fuel donations from RUBiS Energy Bermuda have also assisted in the expansion of a variety of research and conservation efforts, including Reef Watch, the citizen scientist programme, and the Bermuda Turtle Project.

“RUBiS has been a huge supporter of the Bermuda Zoological Society over the last several years in a very unique way,” said BZS president Richard Winchell.

“Their gift has allowed thousands of Bermuda’s schoolchildren the opportunity to access free environmental and conservation classes at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, through their support of our bus, as well as helping us open the eyes of our young people with face-to-face encounters on and in the water aboard our floating classroom, the Endurance, especially through programmes like Kids on the Reef.
