The area is home to a wide variety of sea slugs, snails, chitons, keyhole limpets, and many other marine invertebrates.  The rock pool search provides an opportunity for attendees to put their slug- and snail-finding and photography skills into practice. Please bring a waterproof camera or splashproof phone if you have one. A limited number of waterproof cameras will be available for loan on the day.
