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.
