About this event

Talks about marine life off Cornwall & Limpet recovery since the Torrey Canyon oil spill.

Join Matt Slater, Marine Conservation Officer at Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and discover his favourite marine creatures and surprising stories about their biology and behaviour. This harsh environment has changed dramatically in the past 20 years and Matt will be talking about these changes and how you can get involved in monitoring and protecting our marine wildlife.

From 12-12.30pm, join biologist Dr Richard Pearce who will talk about his study of limpet recovery since the Torrey Canyon oil spill over fifty years ago. His study also shows species variation due to climate change.

This event is part of the Habitats as Heritage residency.

Please note: there are currently no refreshments available at Kresen Kernow, but you’re welcome to bring your own.
