About the event

Do you want to know your Montagu's from your Decorator crab or what exactly is that hermit crab inside that shell when you're out rockpooling or snorkelling?

Then this is the workshop for you!

Join Cornwall Wildlife Trust's Matt Slater for a day of learning crustacean identification for rockpool, snorkel and dive enthusiasts.

This day is ideal for Your Shore network associated group members to learn more about the species they may find during their Shorsearch and Seasearch surveys as well as Rockpool Rambles.

Where? Blackwater Village Hall

When? Sunday 26th April - 10am-3pm

Who? We encourage Your Shore group members, Shoresearch and Seasearch volunteers to attend this session.

How much? £10 per person or FREE for Your Shore group members*

*please contact your local group for the PROMO CODE to obtain your discount.

The workshop will be 'classroom' based, looking at identification information as well as a hands on experience taking a closer look at live specimens.
