Learn about seaweed taxonomy and identifying the variety of seaweed species that occur on our shores.
During this 1 day course, participants will learn the basics of seaweed taxonomy and biology as well as identifying the variety of species that occur around the coast of Northern Ireland, including non-natives. Starting with an interactive classroom session at Portrush Coastal Zone, tutors from the DAERA Marine Plants Team will guide participants through seaweed taxonomy, biology and identification. This will be followed by a visit to the nearby rocky shore at low tide to explore species in situ, before returning to the coastal zone to have a go at identification and seaweed pressing. This course is open to adults with an interest in local marine biodiversity. All levels of species identification experience are welcome. Course Cost: £25 per person Partners: National Museums NI, CEDaR and DAERA https://www.nmni.com/whats-on/seaweed-identification-2019
