It was a brilliant autumn morning when 22 of our Friends members came along to this special area to share in a Rock Pool Ramble, led by Pete who knows just so much about this marine environment.
Having been introduced to some of the biodiversity of the sanctuary through some of Pete’s great photography it was time to start our adventure.
… and then it was time to start exploring the rocky reef
There was plenty to see as people clambered in all directions delving into the rock pools and finding things to share with each other
Hugh and Ollie used their marine knowledge and sharp eyes to find specimens that they were keen to show to the others.
There were other smaller sea creatures that people observed – a school of tiny silvery fish swimming in one of the pools
And there were further observations:-
A walk back from the reef and along the sea shore allowed people to share two further obervations.
It was indeed a great way to spend a few hours relaxing and enjoying the wonderful environment of the Marine Sanctuary and we thank Pete for sharing his knowledge and love of the area.
