Introduction To Invertebrates Of Our Coastal Habitats

Join Joshua Clarke, Buglife Northern Ireland Conservation Officer, for "Introduction to invertebrates of our coastal habitats" as we explore the invertebrates that call our coastal habitats home, and discuss the challenges these habitats and species face.
This is an introductory online talk to explore the varied coastal habitats across Northern Ireland's expansive coast, and the threatened, rare or data deficient species that call these habitats home. Habitats such as grey dunes, soft rock cliffs, and salt marshes exist across our coastlines. Despite some site designation and protections, these habitats and sites are under conservation threat and our invertebrates are at risk.
Example threatened species of our coastline include Northern Colletes (Colletes floralis) and Narrow-mouthed Whorl Snail (Vertigo angustior).
We are joined by colleagues Stewart Rosell, from the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, and Beth Dowler, from the National Trust.
