and the Co-Coast citizen science project.
Joined a monthly beach clean at Polhawn Beach, which is in the Whitsand and Looe Bay Marine Conservation Zone. Great to see some many people come down to help, young and old. All the rubbish collected in quantified and categorised then the data is used to inform policy markers to try and reduce our input. Good stuff all round I say!
We then conducted a 20 minute timed search at low tide.
I chose the "Like it of Limpet" package and was tasked to spot and identify as many limpet species as possible. Easier said than done. Others picked different packages to get a full insight to what species were on the rocky shore. All data is added to the Co-Coast data bank to be analysed and process.
A good day was had!
