#CoastWatchSurvey – Coastwatch Survey 2013 which started last month continues for another fortnight, so there's no excuse not to take part in the annual survey which ends on 15 October.

All you have to do is walk just once along your chosen coastline (500m) around low-tide and report your findings. Participants will help to create more than 1,000 coastal site surveys as a collective citizen snapshot of Ireland's coastline in 2013.

So what's stopping you!... it's useful, fun, challenging and keeps you fit

Note, it is important to inform others before setting off (even if going as a group), of your intended coastal survey route and make sure to bring along a mobile.

If you would like to host one in your area please contact the Coastwatch coordination team.

To review the full survey questionnaire, or to book your survey area (plus download the info-poster and pass on to a friend) For details you can also contact Karin Dubsky, International Coordinator, Coastwatch Europe by contacting: 086 8111 684 or www.coastwatch.org

Coastwatch Europe is an international network of environmental groups, universities and other educational institutions, who in turn work with local groups and individuals around the coast of Europe.
