Course starts 9th February, 2021
Fed up wirth lockdown? Here in Cornwall the solution might be right on your doorstep! There is excellent evidence for the health and wellbeing benefits of being by the sea. And there is no better way to immerse yourself in our beautiful marine environment than by going rock pooling!
This beginners course is a mixture of online group learning and ‘homework’ exploring your local rock pool site. During six fortnightly online sessions, led by marine biologist Dr Ben Holt, you will learn about our incredible rock pool wildlife, how to find it and how to contribute to our research.
