Cornwall Wildlife Trust are holding an evening online training event designed to introduce volunteers to our new water user survey forms.

The data collected will help us build a better picture of how our inshore coastal waters are being used by people, for example fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, boating and jet ski use.

Training will provide information on how to identify different types of vessels, as well as more detailed descriptions such as different symbols water users may use to indicate their activity when in the water. We are hoping to improve our understanding of seasonal patterns and high use areas to guide our conservation efforts.

The session is online but to be followed by practical training during Seaquest Southwest public seawatches over the summer.

Cost for this training is FREE to attend.

We welcome beginners as well as those who attended our first session last year and regular Seaquest Southwest volunteer surveyors.

For more information please contact oscar.miller@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk.

This training has been made possible through funding for the G7 legacy project and Your Shore.
