NMP Community Science – Big Seaweed Search

February 17 @ 9:00 am 11:00 am

Community Science / Citizen Science! This term means to collect data on the natural world for scientists, these projects are fun and very accessible with little to no prior knowledge needed (RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch is an example). For this event we will run a fun training day where we will teach you the basics of the big seaweed search, along with history, uses and importance of seaweed. At the same time we will be recording data and looking out for invasive species (a non-native species which causes harm to the local environment). You don’t have to have been to any citizen science events before to get involved. Anyone is welcome to come and learn!

We will meet at the top of the steps next to the tidal pool. What 3 words ///rotate.intervals.smile. You will need:

Appropriate clothing and footwear for weather

There are available toilets close by next to the meeting point next to the Artillery Tower restaurant.

We love it when historic vessels pass through the marine park. Such a lovely sight 💙

This is the Lynher Tamar River barge. It was built in 1896 and underwent a restoration in 1990s. Now it is used for education workshops and sailing experiences around #PSNMP and the River Tamar.

Ever wondered what it's like to be a Plymouth Sound National Marine Park volunteer?

We had a chat with Maddie from @plymuni at one of our events, and here's her take on volunteering with us. We agree with Maddie; just give it a go! 😄
