Looe Marine Conservation Group - Volunteers

Join as a Volunteer

Become a volunteer! No advance knowledge is necessary to become a useful volunteer!

By joining as a volunteer, you can:

• Gain access to unique training opportunities eg rocky shore training; marine identification skills at the Marine Biological Association; how to run an event
• Pursue an interest in a particular area eg cetaceans, basking sharks, seals
• Take part in survey work to monitor and assess the local marine environment in Looe
• Receive invitations to participate in a range of marine survey activities across Cornwall
• Help to organize and run events by manning stands and stalls – ie help to inspire others!
• Attend social events exclusively for volunteers eg annual campover on Looe Island
• We also work with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust to train volunteers in the use of ‘Shoresearch’ survey methodology in order to run detailed studies of our shore area
• Qualified divers may also take advantage of additional organised opportunities/activities

Check out the work of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust on their website, www.cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk and see what other projects they may have happening near you.
