Joint meeting with the Essex Field Club.
Note the early start to catch the low tide on the foreshore north of the breakwater. This is a rather diverse site which has records of Noemiamea dolioliformis and a large bivalve fauna. Once the tide covers the shore we will travel on to a couple of woodland sites on the southern shores of the Stour estuary to record the non-marine fauna there.
Meet at 07:00am (low water -0.3m) is at 08:51) at the north end of Marine Parade TM258315, where there is ample parking, or on the foreshore thereafter. The site is within easy walking distance of Dovercourt station. Please contact Simon beforehand if you plan to attend, when you will receive a mobile phone number for use on the day if necessary.
