If you spot a jellyfish whilst you're at the coast, we want to hear about it! You can identify the jellyfish you see using our guide and report it through our wildlife sightings page.

Explore and identify natural finds from the shore with our Seashore Safari Guide. The perfect beach companion, our guide introduces commonly-found shells and other natural artefacts. Can you see how many seashore treasures you can find?
Big Seaweed Search
It may be a bit slippery and slimy, but seaweed can tell us important information about how our climate is changing. If you're headed to the coast, become a citizen scientist and help us with our work. It's simple, download our Big Seaweed Search guide, note down what you find and then let us know.
