While our coastal waters are crowded with jellyfish and further from the coast there are increasing numbers of barracudas, turtles and new marine organisms appearing which are not typical of our sea, there are many other marine animals that are decreasing in numbers such as octopi, groupers, blue fin tuna and shark species. What is happening to our sea?

To help understand our wonderful sea and its natural resources and vulnerabilities, the Biological Conservation Research Foundation (BICREF) is holding seminars on Saturday and on the following Saturday, July 15.

Various topics will be covered, from jellyfish to turtles and dolphins; from coastal biodiversity and the value of marine conservation areas to various marine animal behaviours; from ecotourism to impacts of various fishing gear.

Many curiosities about our sea are discussed, making these events relevant for all those that have our sea at heart.

Participants will be able to learn up-to-date facts, side by side with methods used to continue assisting ongoing BICREF marine conservation research.

Persons interested in joining these activities may contact BICREF at bicref@gmail.com or write to: BICREF, PO Box 30, Hamrun. The BICREF Website is:: http://sites.keyworld.net/bicref/
