Marine Life of The Bay

Geopark In Focus

In this final episode, Prof. Iain Stewart and guests head around the coast and underwater to explore the internationally protected marine environment of the Geopark. Here the geology has created a wealth of intricate coves, sea caves and quiet nooks and crannies for a huge diversity of life to thrive both above and below water from gannets to guillemots, seagrass to seahorses and seals to whales! The group also discuss how the community of the area recognise the incredible importance of this rich resource and how they come together to help care for it.
Featuring:
Jess Churchill-Bissett, Local Marine expert and Marine Management Organisation
Duncan Kenny, co-founder of The Seal Project and a marine medic
Clare Rugg, Senior Curator at Wild Planet Trust
Warwick Saunders, Nautilus Dive & RIB Charters Brixham.
