Beachcombing talk at New Ross Library
Rosslare Strand.
Join Dr Jonathan Derham at New Ross Library on Tuesday, May 21, at 7 p.m. for a beachcombing talk. You can be guaranteed it will change your appreciation of your beaches.
If you have any interesting items you have found on a beach walk then bring it along and you may be able to discover something new about it.
The talk will explore finds from the south east and you will discover cannibal marine snails; extraordinary adaptations; ocean-going visitors to these shores; worms that are master masons; shells that sunk gallions (ship worms); sea sponges that eat rock and animals that look like plants. And you will will learn about what may be the oldest solitary animal in Ireland living off-shore in Wexford.
Jonathan has a keen interest in the natural environment of Wexford - has been walking Ireland's beaches for over 50 years and is constantly amazed at the interesting finds that are washed up and what they tell us about biodiversity and about discovery.
Booking essential. You register for your place by calling library staff on 051 421877 or online at wexfordcoco.ie
