Thursday 13th August | 13:15 – 14:30 at Portelet Bay
Come along and help us survey our local crabs! Crabs are a really good marker of our coastal environment and crab surveying helps us assess the status and health of our local crabs, population changes of native and non-native species, and also helps us to monitor human impact on marine life. Crabs are easily impacted by human activities, including warming seas, the introduction of invasive species and overexploitation. This makes them an ideal subject to help indicate how oceans are changing and the impacts of these threats.
All data collected with be given to the Guernsey Biological Records Centre and become a part of our local records.
To register interest in this event, please contact Sarah at eca@societe.org.gg with children’s names.
We will meet at the bottom of the slipway on the beach. Please wear sensible footwear and bring a bucket if you have one. We look forward to seeing you there!
