Nor has lack of funding stopped us from taking a leading role in conserving sea life. Our greatest asset is people - from the many observers, whose often small pieces of information are pieced together to improve our understanding, to the acknowledged experts who analyse and apply that information to tackle problems.

Besides its scientific contribution to conserving sea life, the Trust has achieved a great deal in increasing awareness of this area's incredible marine creatures and the threats they face. As a Cornwall Wildlife Trust member you are already supporting our marine work. Through our innovative Seaquest project, we can now offer every one of you the chance to contribute in a very practical way to saving our special sea life.
