COASTAL RESEARCH AND EVENTS
New Marine Wildlife Boat Adventures
The Royal Harbour in Ramsgate is
soon to be home to Thanet's latest waterbome visitor attraction with the
arrival of Windrider Rib Adventures.
Operating in direct
association with and
under
guidance from Thanet
District
Council Foreshore team
and
the Kent Coastal
Project,
visitors will have the
chance
to venture out from
the
town's historic
Georgian
Harbour into the
wildlife
playground that exists in
the
coastal waters off the Isle
Of
Thanet, in search of some
of
the UKs most incredible marine
wildlife. The company offers 3 different
levels of adventure experience
from the short and swift Ocean Venturer (30
mins), through the medium
duration Bays £t Beaches (60 mins) to the fabulous
Seal Encounter (90
mins).
These exhilarating tours will
involve visitors being transported in the company's purpose built 10m
Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) to view the coastline's amazing diversity of
animals in their natural environment in a sensitive and safe manner. Using
the latest US marine sonar technology, the RIB surveys the ocean for signs
of marine life, manoeuvring to allow passengers to admire the splendour of
these majestic animals through the naked eye, binoculars or camera
lenses.
The most popular tour is likely
to be Seal Encounter, where visitors will be taken out to the famous
Margate and Goodwin Sands seal sanctuaries where they can observe Common
and Grey Seals in their natural environment. The company has a wealth of
experience and includes a graduate marine biologist on their team of fully
trained staff. The trips are fully escorted, interactive and are narrated
by wildlife experts.

KMBRC
database needs you!
The Kent & Medway Biological
Records Centre (KMBRC) reports a great response to the launch of the Kent
Environmental Information Database. Since January, the resource library
has had over 400 hits to its on-line search facility, available at www.kmbrc.org.uk/keid.
Containing information from a variety of sources, the Database is designed to allow researchers to search for documents and reports that relate to Kent's coastal and marine environments. The long-term plan is to extend the Database to include the whole of Kent.
In order to keep the Database
up-to-date, KMBRC is now accepting submissions. These can be made easily
using the on-line form at www.kmbrc.org.uk/keid/submit, or by contacting KMBRC on 01622 685646/780.
