The Fleet supports a wide variety of Marine life. Join us on the 5th July for a gentle stroll along the shoreline of the lower Fleet to see what can be found. In the past these walks have revealed a number of unusual creatures. These may include nationally rare species that inhabit the Fleet. On the 6th there will be a walk along the north shore of Portland Harbour. There are a number of small shingle and/or sandy beaches with rocky outcrops so this should be rather different from our usual low tide walks in the Fleet.
