Are you concerned for the wellbeing of our coast? Help us understand the problem and be a part of the solution.
The Your Shore network is made up of a number of both longstanding and new local marine conservation groups that are always looking for local volunteers to get involved.
It’s about inspiring people to care for their local area, sharing ideas and knowledge, linking with other groups in Cornwall, meeting new people and staying active through activities, meetings, events and volunteering.
If you want to volunteer with your local community group then getting involved is easy.
