Summer Excursions Programme 2010
Our next event is:
Saturday 7th August at 2.00 pm
From Barnacles to Basking Sharks – Exploring the Coast at the Niarbyl
Leaders: Fiona Gell and Eleanor Stone
A short walk and exploration of the coast and shore at the Niarbyl led by Fiona Gell and Eleanor Stone, Marine Officer of the Manx Wildlife Trust.
This will be a chance to do some coast-watching for basking sharks, whales and dolphins, and to find out more about Manx marine conservation and protected species. The event also coincides with low tide so there will be a chance to learn to do marine species identification on the shore.
Meet by the Niarbyl Cafe SC 212776. Parking near meeting place. Public transport: Limited bus service from Peel.
