Centre duties with Atoll Marine Centre
Mornings here at Atoll Marine Centre start similarly. In order to keep the centre running smoothly there are daily tasks we have to complete each day to ensure the turtles are looked after well. Our volunteers start the mornings with Centre duties at 9:30am each morning. At the beginning of the week me and Amy (volunteer coordinator) set out a weekly schedule of the plans for the week, outlining any specific jobs that need to be added to morning duties each day and any planned activities for the afternoons such as snorkel clean ups, beach cleans, upcycling sessions etc. I split tasks into Tank Duties and Centre Dutes: E.g. Tank duties: Sweeping tanks & Water changes The water for our tanks is pumped directly in from the sea. Each tank has its own net (used to remove any large matter such as poo or uneaten food) and also a desginated brush which is used to sweep any smaller debris down the plug to keep the tanks and water as clean as possible.
