We also raised money from quiz nights at the local Bolingey Inn and are very glad of continued support from the new owners. The group has contributed to conserving the local environment with regular beach and dune cleans, and this year we linked up with Dynamic Dunescapes to clean the beach, and local Scouts group. We also have continued to use illustrated sheets to use during our Litter Scavenger Hunt which aims to encourage children to litter pick at our beach cleans. We have had interest in local groups and companies who want to join us in our beach clean, for example, Rotary St Agnes and St.Piran. We have also assisted with surveying work on the dunes with Dynamic Dunescapes (Cornwall Wildlife Trust), and attended plant identification workshops. We have undertaken training on Shoresearch Surveys run by Cornwall Wildlife Trust and aim to hold our own surveys on Perranporth beach in the future, furthering knowledge of species diversification and giving valuable insights into species changes in the light of climate change. In terms of making the public aware of the natural environment of Perranporth, this year we held a very successful rockpool ramble during National Marine Week which was attended by over 25 young people and their parents, both local and holiday makers. We also had an extremely well attended rockpool ramble led by experts from Cornwall Wildlife Trust and engaged with more than 50 people, the feedback on this was that the participants loved these events and demand is high for more of them. This year, we continued our monthly Seaquest sea watch surveys for marine ‘mega fauna’ which take place from Cligga Head on the first Sunday **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance of every month, in conjunction with other marine groups. We were pleased to be joined by local wildlife enthusiasts. 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 Cornwall Wildlife’s Your Shore projects and Dynamic Dunescapes project, and other charities such as British Divers Marine Life Rescue work and the Seal Research Group. We have also highlighted strandings such as a thresher shark and leather back turtle. We have shared relevant job information. **Much of the above can be seen on our Facebook Page - See https://www.facebook.com/Perranporth-Marine-Conservation-Group173493549967154** **TAR** March **2012** 5 ## Section D Achievements and erformance p Beach Cleans with collaboration from other groups **Summary of the main** Rockpool sessions **achievements of the charity** Continued support of Beach Rangers. **during the year** Seaquest Sundays on regular basis to record larger marine animals.
