Explore The Shore
Discover amazing animals, bizarre behaviors and the fantastic features of our coastlines, every fortnight with Prof. Charles Griffiths, his son Matt, and Ben the labradoodle.
Emeritus Professor Charles Griffiths introduces us to the amazing, diverse natural world that lies on our coastlines. We visit different shores and explore the wide range of habitats, animals and plants that occur there. From limpets that farm the rocks to alien-like worlds of colonial organisms, Charles shows us a hidden world that most of us have never realised was on our doorsteps.
