Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We have continued to support our Beach Rangers with volunteering opportunities such as beach cleans and facilitating online training courses run by Cornwall Wildlife Trust and the Seal Research Group Trust.
Our rockpooling survey training with Matt Slater (CWT Marine Awareness Officer) at Perranporth was a success and trustees have now held their first survey by themselves without the help of experts and also a rockpool session to assess competence for running them for members of the public. We have sought the help of a local expert with this (Charlotte Bearham).
Grants achieved: we received a large grant from The Community Pot Grant from Your Shore Beach Rangers (Cornwall Wildlife Trust), to allow us to continue the training offered by YourShore Beach Rangers which ended this year in March. The trustees are very grateful for this grant which have enabled us to further help young local people.
The group has contributed to conserving the local environment with regular beach and dune cleans, undertaking training for rockpool surveys, and preparing to roll out rockpool sessions for the public in the future, recording marine life finds with ERCISS online recording facility (ORKS).
This year, we set up regular Seaquest seawatch surveys for marine ‘mega fauna’ which take place from Clilgga Head on the first Sunday of every month, in conjunction with other marine groups.
We have posted extensively on our Facebook page to highlight our work, environmental issues and information about marine life. We have also posted relevant information from other groups and organisations, in particular that of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue work and Seal Research Group.
Much of the above can be seen on our Facebook Page page - See
