About the event

Marine survey days are an opportunity to learn about the wildlife that calls the Cumbrian coast its home, and to take part in vital data collection, which helps to inform researchers, decision makers, and conservationists, about the flora and fauna found on our shorelines, and flag any potential issues which could be damaging them!

What to bring

  1. Dress for the weather; if it is cold bring warm clothes, waterproofs, and plenty of layers. If it’s warm, bring sunhat, suncream, and cooler clothes to protect yourself from the heat.
  2. Plenty of drinks and snacks, water or hot flasks, and packed lunch; it’s tiring out on the shore, so make sure you bring lots of fuel to keep yourself going!
  3. Grippy, stable, shoes: regardless of the weather, the rocks can be very slippy. Please wear grippy shoes such as wellies, trainers, or walking boots, to help you to stay safe as you move around on them.
  4. If you have your own binoculars or coastal ID resources, please bring them along. We will also have equipment and materials to give out, but extras are always useful!
