Would you like to meet new people, learn about rockpool species, and help marine conservation? Then come to marine surveys to help with our ‘Shoresearch’ programme! ‘Shoresearches’ are where the species on an area of beach are surveyed and recorded, and Earnse Bay is home to all sorts of creatures including hermit crabs, starfish, brittle stars and blennies.

No prior knowledge is required and all training will be provided. However, please note that this role will involve walking over slippery and uneven ground.
