Explore the shore in Cornwall: The Wildlife Trusts’ National Marine Week

The Wildlife Trusts’ National Marine Week is a nationwide celebration of the marine world! Here in Cornwall, we’re running lots of fantastic events to help you discover our weird and wonderful marine life!

From 3rd – 11th August, you can get involved in various events with marine and coastal enthusiasts around the county. Join rockpool ramblers, seagrass snorkelers, and cliff-top dolphin watchers to learn about the extraordinary marine life along our coastline. This year The Wildlife Trusts theme is ‘Sea the Connection’. This aims to showcase people in the UK, Alderney, and the Isle of Man who are connected to our seas and the ecosystem services that healthy waters provide.

Come along to events, follow our socials, and get connected to our seas.
