Marine Strandings Volunteer Training, Newquay

Cornwall's coastline is one of the most active in the UK for marine strandings, and this training day equips volunteers with the skills to record and report them accurately. Run as part of a national project, the session teaches participants how to identify and log dead marine animals — data that feeds directly into scientific research and conservation efforts. Held at Newquay's University Centre Cornwall College, it's open to Cornwall residents keen to contribute something meaningful to the health of our seas. Places are available at a range of prices, including free options, so cost needn't be a barrier.
