Education at Wembury

School_rockpool_rambleWembury Marine Centre offers a wide range of educational activities and sessions can be tailored to both primary and secondary school groups.

The focus of the Centre's educational activities is the wide diversity of plants and animals that live in the rockpools at Wembury beach. The most popular activity offered by the Centre are guided rockpooling sessions and these can be delivered to most age groups.

In addition, the staff at the Centre can offer an illustrated talk on the rocky shore life which can be a precursor to a rockpooling session or a stand alone activity.
