Description
Ever looked out on a beautiful sunny day and enjoyed the shimmering water of the Forth, or commented on the atmospheric harr that flows from the Forth across Edinburgh on more misty days?
Ever wondered what might be underneath the surface?
Join ecologists, Leonie Alexander and Rosslyn Barr, to hear a little of what they know about what lies beneath… and how you can get involved to help our marine environment.
The Forth has been fundamental to local people for food, economy, health and wellbeing for centuries! It’s had a roller coaster of highs and lows, times where it’s inhabitants have been plentiful and times where almost all species are under threat.
Come along and join us for a light (prop supported) talk where we’ll share a little of the Forth’s history, tell you a few tall tales about famous local residents (human and animal) and then move to the more serious side of the Forth’s current marine and coastal state and what we’re doing to help.
