Sea Rangers: Seal Session at Seal Sands
About this Event
The sessions — part of a joint project between Durham Wildlife Trust and UK marine charity Sea Changers — bring 13 coastal adventures to locations along the Durham coast.
Young people will dive into shoreline surveys (including rockpooling), take part in cetacean and bird counts, get hands‑on with habitat management, and tackle litterpicks. Each activity helps participants reconnect with nature and each other, boosting wellbeing, confidence and a sense of coastal pride.
Session four will take us to Seal Sands near Hartlepool to learn more about one of the only sites to house both Atlantic grey and harbour seals.
Other sessions planned through to next year will include: sea mammal surveys, bird surveys, shark and ray egg cases surveys, habitat management, litter picks and beach cleans
