Great for starting conversations about our shores.
The guidesheets contains lots photos of our marine life with snippets of information. Each has a map of the area and also includes stories about some of our shores that ordinary people can visit. The guidesheets include tips on how to be a gentle visitor and how to make a difference for our wild shores.
