It is run in partnership with the Marine Biological Association (MBA), for young people between 16 and 18 years old who are interested in marine biology and marine science.
From seabirds to shore crabs, this course provides an ideal way to gain skills and experience in Marine conservation, ecosystem surveys and species identification. Special talks and lectures will be given by working conservationists on their research, job roles and the marine environment.

Our residentials also give you the chance to develop a range of transferable skills. These types of skills help across many areas of life and are particularly good for including in job or education applications.
Here are some of the transferable skills that are likely to be covered in this residential:
