Lecture – Seaweeds: Cinderellas of the Seashore @ The University - Room W027

Tickets

Oct 28 @ 19:30 – 21:00

Presented by Dr Jane Pottas, Whitby Naturalists.

The talk by Dr. Pottas will cover Seaweeds, an often overlooked group which are an important component of rocky shore ecosystems as habitat formers and service providers. There are about 10,000 species to be found around our costs and potentially 100 species on a single shore. The north east of England seaweed flora has generally been considered less diverse than elsewhere in Britain but this is probably because these shores have been less documented. Come along and find out more about the fascinating world of seaweed.

Dr. Pottas lives in Whitby and is a former University Lecturer and most recently has worked as a Research Assistant at the Natural History Museum in London on projects to capture data from the seaweed herbarium there and at regional and local museums on the distribution of non-native, rare and data deficient species in the UK.

The meeting is open to members past and present, friends and those with an interest in natural history who wish to learn more about Scarborough Field Naturalists.

If you are a member of the Society or a student at the University, all the Lecture meetings are free, but guests are welcome to come and see what it’s all about for the price of £2.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
