Shoresearch Volunteer Survey (Monday 11th August)
Event details
About the event
Shoresearch is The Wildlife Trusts' national citizen science survey of the intertidal shore, the exciting world of extremes where the sea meets the land. It's a great way to explore your local coast, learn more about the wildlife found there and add to our understanding of this important habitat.
You will be supported to identify and record the marine life found on our local shores. The data collected by this project helps The Wildlife Trusts to monitor our fragile sea life and better understand the effects of pollution, climate change and invasive alien species. Shoresearch data has been key to designating many of our Marine Conservation Zones.
We will be doing a walkover survey photographing and recording what we find. We work in small groups learning from each other and experts in the group.
Please check if you have any doubts about the weather, the events are usually cancelled if there is a yellow weather warning in force. Please see contact details below and Facebook.
Please note, this event is aimed mainly at those with an interest in intertidal marine life identification and surveying.
