About the event

This is a chance to join our Shoresearch volunteers and learn about our intertidal surveys to see if it's right for you. We're out every month in three hub areas documenting what we see on shore to build a vital baseline and help to record changes.

Open to people of all levels (16+ only) - we'll provide all the training you need!

The event organiser speaks conversational Welsh, please feel free to use Welsh or English during this event.

Mobility

Access to the beach is along a sandy path and pebbly-sandy shore. The survey area is approx 500 metres along the shore.

The survey area itself is very uneven and slippery with areas to avoid such as rockpools and wildlife. You will need to be close to the wildlife, which means bending and/or kneeling.

Not suitable for wheeled mobility aids.

Travel:

Buses to Llanfair (20 min walk to meeting point) and trains to Llandanwg (5min walk) are frequent (https://www.traveline.info/plan-a-journey)

Toilet

Council toilets can be found at the carpark and are reported to be open all year.

Wheelchair access

What to bring

Please wear clothing suitable for the weather and working on wet areas. Wear shoes with grip which you don't mind getting wet and salty (wellies are best).

Please bring a drink to remain hydrated. A bag is ideal to ensure you have hands free to investigate. A mobile is great to document your finds and help with developing your ability to identify.

All survey equipment will be provided.
