CANCELLED: Shoresearch Survey at Wembury Beach!

Join Devon Wildlife Trust’s Wembury Marine Centre and The Green Minds Project for a Shoresearch Survey on Friday 4th Feb 12:30-3pm, based at Wembury beach. Please meet outside Wembury Marine Centre (PL9 0HP) just before 12:30pm.

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 trained 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.

Please note, this event is aimed mainly at adults with an interest in intertidal marine life identification and surveying. The event will involve walking over slippery rocks, so wellies/sturdy boots are essential and please wrap up warm and bring a thermos/snacks if you wish.

Winter events are weather dependent so please check your emails close to the day in case of cancellation. Please note, National Trust car parking charges apply to non-members at Wembury Beach car park.

UPDATE 27th January 2022: Due to unforeseen circumstances we have cancelled this event. Please keep an eye on our events page for future shoresearch surveys.
