About the event

Join Cornwall Wildlife Trust for a Seasearch special all about Kelp, from Cat Wilding of the Marine Biological Association

Kelp forests create living space for a multitude of life. They oxygenate the water, absorb nutrients and reduce wave energy, helping to reduce coastal erosion.

But this invaluable habitat is under threat: from armies of urchins to fishing damage and climate change. Find out more about what is being done to restore them.

Cat will help you to discover how to distinguish our local kelp species and discuss current research aiming to restore kelp forests, which is the focus of her PhD project.

• When? Wednesday 18th March - 7pm

• How much? Donate what you can (all proceeds go directly towards supporting CWT's marine conservation work)
