Earning Criteria

-
Earners will have heard information about the fascinating variety of marine life from the evidence washed up on the shore by each rhythmic tide.

Earners will have been told that an estimated 80% of all life on earth is found under the ocean surface, but that they don’t have to go under the ocean to discover many of its wonders.
