We are proud to announce that the second, updated edition of Exploring our Estuaries will be launched December 2025. It has a brand new section about the sea shores!
Along with our second edition, we excitedly introduce a companion book - made especially for the younger people in our communities.
This children's version is made to inspire action on real world environmental issues in a fun and positive approach. With elements aligned to the national curriculum, including 8 subjects, 10 interlinked projects and over 100 tasks and activities, this workbook is sure to engage children of all learning styles.

The categories that we are looking for are as follows:
· Amphibia
· Birds (need more sea/marine birds)
· Mammals (we need more marine mammals)
· Reptiles
· Invertebrates (We have few and a major task is to photograph/acquire what is in the intertidal zones and near shore sea. These include: molluscs, crustacea, tunicates, worms, coelenterates (e.g. anemones), echinoderms (e.g. sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins) and more.)
· Terrestrial plants
· Aquatic plants (we are very poor on this and as there are over 100 sea weeds on the rocks alone).
· Scenic shots (we have some for estuaries, but virtually none for the sandy seashore and rocky shore).
· People and activity shots (not too bad for estuaries, but virtually none for the sandy seashore and rocky shore)
- For print, the images need to be high resolution (300dpi)
