The Shoresearch app is the perfect way to easily add your marine data from Wildlife Trust Shoresearch surveys.
Shoresearch is The Wildlife Trusts’ national citizen science survey program of the intertidal shore, the exciting world of extremes where the sea meets the land. It’s a great way to explore your local coast, learn more about the wildlife found there and add to our understanding of this important habitat.
There are four different surveys which collect valuable marine data that can be used to designate and monitor Marine Protected Areas, contribute to scientific research, assess planning applications and even monitor long-term changes in the marine environment, such as the effects of pollution, climate change and invasive alien species!
Volunteers are trained by local Wildlife Trusts to identify and record the wildlife on shores across the UK.
Want to be involved? Please contact your local Wildlife Trust and ask to become a Shoresearch Volunteer, we cant wait for you to join us!
