Description

ShoreThing is a citizen science project carried out between 2001-2019 at locations around the British Isles. Volunteers, primarily from schools and colleges, conducted timed search surveys, looking for species from a predefined list across three coastal habitats: rockpools (RP); boulders/crevices (BC); and open rock (OR).
