There is plenty to see 'Between the Tides' on rocky shores in South Devon. This course is for those who want to look more closely at this habitat and all the plants and animals that live there. You may consider yourself a beginner or you may already be familiar with some of the plant and animal communities on the rocky shore. You may want to improve your identification skills, or you may simply enjoy the shore and want to find out more about the plants and animals that manage to live 'Between the Tides'. Whatever your goals, we can help you to achieve them.

The course is based on visiting shores in the area. Fieldwork will include identification and comparison of habitat types with observations on the effect of exposure to the sun, wind and waves. The field sessions will be complemented by indoor sessions using keys and microscopic examination.

Jo Corke is an enthusiastic biologist who organised fieldwork at Slapton for university students for several years; this course reflects her continuing interest in the communities of the rocky shores.

This course is part of our programme of Professional Development Courses. You can find out more in the Professional Development section of this website.
