When: Wednesday 4 September, 10:15am – 11:45am

About the event: 

Would you like to learn how to identify oyster shells and help restore the Firth of Forth? We’ve teamed up with the Marine Conservation Society to support their research project to collect information about beaches around the Firth of Forth! 

The Marine Conservation Society has created opportunities for volunteers to get involved in their vital work preserving our oceans and beaches. Citizen science is when the public joins forces with scientific teams to collaborate on research projects. Join us to get involved with this exciting project and do something amazing for our oceans.

Delivered by: 

Anna Inman, Shellfish Engagement Officer at the Marine Conservation Society.
