Abstract
In Ireland we are surrounded by so many different types of beaches ranging from sandy to shingle shores, as well as mudflats to rocky shore lines. This makes it extremely exciting exploring all of the amazing animals, seaweeds, plants and creatures that live there. This book was created to help you become a seashore explorer. The book can be used on the shore or in the classroom to help gather and document all of the stuff you discover on the shore. As part of becoming a seashore explorer we have also teamed up with the National Biodiversity Data team to help them identify and locate seashore animals and seaweeds around Ireland. The Irish version 'Mo threoir don chladach leabhar oibre' also available here.

Description
The Explorers Education Programme engages with primary school children, teachers and the education network, creating marine leaders and ocean champions in Ireland. We are the leading outreach programme in Ireland that delivers ocean literacy to primary schools, promoting awareness, knowledge and engagement of our ocean wealth and identity. The Explorers Education Programme is funded by the Marine Institute, Ireland’s state agency for marine research, technology development and innovation. The Explorers Education Programme is managed by the Camden Education Trust and we work with amazing outreach teams all around Ireland, as well as other organisations that love the ocean. Explore Your Shore! is a Citizen Science project focused on increasing our knowledge about the distribution of animals and plants that live on the seashore. Identifying species on the shore’s inter-tidal zones can provide us with an indication of the water quality and climate change. This can help highlight how we can take care of our environment and the things we can do to tackle water pollution and climate change. Explore Your Shore! is a Citizen Science project led by the National Biodiversity Data Centre and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency.
