About the event

Join Cornwall Wildlife Trust and the associated Your Shore Network groups for a packed week of brilliant activities and events during National Marine Week!

From Saturday 25th July to Sunday 2nd August, we'll be celebrating and learning about our Cornish coastlines and marine life, why they're important and how to protect them.

Join the Tor to Shore team at Carlyon Bay on Tuesday 29th July for a fun-filled day celebrating the incredible marine wildlife and coastal habitats of St Austell Bay.

Come and discover what makes our local seas so special through a range of free, family-friendly activities. 

Highlights include a snorkel lobster release, where you'll have the chance to help return young lobsters to the sea, as well as a fascinating talk from the National Lobster Hatchery about their conservation work. (Booking required for snorkelling)
