COASTAL FORAGING-THE HIDDEN SECRETS -STRANGE CREATURES
Down at one of my favourite places this time - on St Brides Bay , Pembrokeshire , Wales, UK. This area has some really interesting wild life apart from some of the most biodiverse rock pools in the world ( it is the meeting point of the cold water species of the North and the warm water species of the South. We even have a bright blue sea weed -Rainbow Wrack that is very evident here in Spring. Offshore we have 3 species of dolphins, basking sharks , ocean sunfish , blue fin tuna are making a comeback along with other species, of cetecean, seals and my favourite , the Leatherback Turtle , and is the largest turtle ever found ,the world record of which was found around 70 miles away at Harlech ( it died by being trapped in fishing lines and was over 100 years of age and its body has been preserved for display in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff ) well worth a visit , it is 3 meters (9 feet) in length and weighs 914 Kilos (2016 ponds), enjoy, This was expertly filmed and edited by Jon Borg of Digital Tiger.

I’m allergic to shellfish, but I love the way you educate us as you forge. You also show respect by only taking what you need and leaving the rest.

Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans awesome! I’m gonna be diving back into my family tree and trying to figure out more of where they lived- I suspect they did some type of work that had them moving around a bit, I’m not sure, like they were following the jobs around. It’s hard though, there’s a lot of John Jones’s and I’ve no other family to get information from.

Hey Craig, I hope all is well. I was wondering how you do all your research on species in your area? What’s the best way you’ve found to identify a new species you’ve discovered with certainty?

Hi Owen , I''ve spent many happy years exploring every nook and cranny of the coast of West Wales from Pembrey in Carmarthenshire to St Davids in Pembrokeshire and all points in between . I don't think that there is book on the subject I havn't read. I used to keep a large salt water aquarium to study the fish and invertibrates that live on our coast. My tip on identification is to obtain at least 3 books and compare the photographs. There is also Marlin , an online guide to the creature on our coast. I hope this helps, regards Craig
