On Sunday 13 July, 50 lucky participants will have the opportunity to swim 3K from Henry VIII's St Mawes Castle to St Just in Roseland. Cornwall Wildlife Trust, in partnership with SureSwim Kernow, are excited to be facilitating an exciting challenge event that sees swimmers helping to ensure the future of Cornwall's marine life.

In this very special event, swimmers will take in the wonderful seagrass, maerl, and kelp habitats that line the floor of the route. These habitats are vital in the fight against climate change, as well as for supporting key species, such as seahorses and cuttlefish. However, they are threatened, and the habitats found around Falmouth Bay are considered to be some of the finest examples in the country.

Fundraising for this event means that money will go directly to the Trust's Ocean Emergency Fund. Your donations could help us in the following ways:

*£10 could purchase 10 hessian bags to securely plant seagrass seedlings to restore seagrass meadows.

*£20 could allow us to sample and test 10 water quality samples, helping to inform the secure of the future of these habitats.

*£50 could pay for a specialist talk to boat owners, empowering them to make alternatives to anchoring on seagrass beds.

*£100 could pay for one snorkel survey to assess impacts and monitor our seagrass beds

Thank you very much for your support!
