Shoresearch Training - St Ives

Come and join Cornwall Wildlife Trust to learn how to survey the shoreline to find many of the wonderful marine creatures we have along the Cornish coastline!

This hands-on training will allow you to partake in the Shoresearch events and be part of the vital data collection needed to help preserve our coastline.

Shoresearch is a user-friendly and fun method of exploring the shore and recording the species and habitats found there. On the day, you will learn different survey methods as well as species identification techniques.

We will meet at the cafe at Smeaton's Pier, St Ives Harbour at 10am. Please bring a drink and snack/packed lunch with you. You will need suitable shoes and clothing suitable for the ever-changing Cornish weather!

Further details will be given once booked closer to the event date. Any questions please do email [email protected]
