An exciting citizen science project, 'Capturing our coast' recently launched in the UK, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The project seeks to engage thousands of citizen scientists who are keen to learn more about coastal marine life and play an active role in protecting it.

Partcipants need have no experience in fieldwork as training will be provided by 7 Training Hubs based at universities, research and conservation organisations located around the British coast. Find out more here: http://capturingourcoast.co.uk/home
