The K Team studied Elasmobranches (sharks, skate and rays) during their monthly session; researching into their biology, habitats and conservation measures. Afterwards, a trip out under gloomy skies onto the shore for a Mermaids purse (shark and ray egg case) hunt on the strandline.
The day was finished with the MarLIN Shore Thing survey (http://www.marlin.ac.uk/shore_thing/); recording species and their numbers within marked quadrats upon The Flats. This survey is a national project to locate and monitor climate indicator species around the coastline. Over time the results will allow us to understand what part climatic changes are having upon particular species populations and habitats. |
