Nudibranch safari
The CWT team had a little nudibranch safari yesterday taking advantage of the lull before the storm and a spring low tide! The rockpools are looking beautiful this time of year and we got an impressive 32 species of animals and 6 nudibranches - hope you like them -- I still havent seen a babakina (rainbow seaslug) and we were hoping we may find one but so as not to jinx it the event was called the non babakina search! Didnt work... I still havent seen one of those 🥲

JOIN US THIS WEEKEND!

Participants will be divided into teams to conduct quadrat surveys along transects, starting from the high shore and extending down to the water’s edge at low tide. After completing the survey, you'll have time to explore the low shore as the tide turns. Once the survey is done, we'll ensure all species observed are recorded, along with the main habitat types they were found in, estimates of their abundance, and related photographs.

Who can attend Shoresearch?

If you're eager to learn and willing to dedicate a few hours of your time, you're more than welcome to join us! Prior knowledge of marine life isn’t required, but any existing expertise is super valuable. Please note that the rocky shore can be slippery and challenging to navigate, so participants should be fit and mobile. We ask that anyone under 18 be accompanied by an adult, and due to the nature of the surveys and the challenging conditions, these events are not suitable for children under 12.

Booking
Please email shoresearch@cornwallwildlifetrust with any questions and to book.
