Beaches

Sponsored by:

Rock-pooling this year won't be a competition to collect as many sea-creatures as you can, but instead an exploration to see if you can find certain species without removing them from their natural habitat.
Identification sheets are available from the Information Point in Outer Hope Square.
Every participant will be given a sea-life keyring on return of their sheet.
