Outdoor learning 
Sea watch sessions can be organised for youth groups or single classes of school children. There is a maximum number of 25 children and a ratio of 1 adult per 4 children is required. 

We will meet at a safe coastal location near to your base. This is an exciting way of getting children motivated about the natural world and actively involved in data collection and observation techniques. Children will learn about the following:

• Filling out junior survey forms
• Collecting environmental data
• Recording sightings of marine mammals and sea birds
• How to properly use binoculars
• Indicators and tips on what to look for

Binoculars, clipboards, pencils and forms are provided. A risk assessment will be sent out in advance. You will need to organise your own high vis jackets. 
Please be aware that sea watches can be subject to short notice cancellation due to weather.
