We had our first low water beach ramble on bank holiday monday from the Pier to Walmer (well Pete's Cafe :)
Well found about 6 different seedweeds and a smattering of shells and cuttlefish higher up. Had great fun trying to identify everything.
Our next ramble will be from Deal Pier to Sandown Castle will be on Sunday 24th September - Time to be confirmed
The Guardians of the Deep is a project of coastal stewardship initiated by the Kent Wildlife Trust. Deal With It is acting as a hub group for the stretch of coast from Sandown to Walmer Castles.
You can be a 'Guardian' by just registering at the Kent Wildlife Trust and doing a monthly report of what you find and see on our beach the link is here. Please put down Deal With It as your hub group but are very welcome to do it individually as well asjoining our organised rambles, surveys, beach cleans and talks.
