Throughout this month we visited 3 sites for group Shoresearches, and timed species searches for invasive species, since it was INNS week. We ended May with 3 days’ worth of have-a-go sessions.…

At the beginning of this month we were out with our have-a-go sessions in our three hub areas and mid-month carried out a double-header (now the light is with us) and started and ended the day…

This month we managed several surveys as well as joining the Porcupine Marine Natural History Society (PMNHS) for a joint investigation of the shores at Clynnog fawr, close to the North Llyn coast…

Again, we had a couple of Shoresearch surveys at the beginning of the month, making the most of the low spring tides. We repeated the have-a-go sessions mid-month as well, plus an additional one,…

An early couple of surveys, straight after the New Year had begun, certainly blew the cobwebs off! They readied some of our Shoresearch volunteers who came out again to help with our have-a-go…

Now we’re properly into winter, we’re expecting to see less living on shore, especially in terms of some algae. This month we tried a different approach with our volunteers and were rewarded…

With the nights drawing in, surveying low tide in daylight around North Wales becomes trickier, so we made the most of the large Spring tides earlier in October, before the clocks turned.

After a brief gap in August we carried out several Shoresearches in September as well as completing our first public have-a-go session.

In July the shores visited were, again all within wider protection areas, rather than at ones where the intertidal area is a feature. The first being our own Nature reserve at Cemlyn.

In June we visited a couple of areas of shore which are not within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) covering the intertidal area, but which are part of wider areas of protection.
