Those planning family holidays in Cornwall next month are being encouraged to learn about underwater wildlife through a one-off event.
A snorkel safari is being held on August 10th, with children joining experts from the Marine Biological Association to explore the waters in the Torpoint area.
Organised by the Wildlife Trusts, the event forms part of National Marine Week, which is taking place across the UK from August 1st to 16th.
Families renting cottages in Cornwall and other coastal areas will find a range of activities taking place, as the organisation aims to highlight the "amazing array" of wildlife on the UK’s coastline.
"During National Marine Week we want people to get out and start to explore what lives in, on and around our shores and to discover the secrets of our seas," said marine development manager Lisa Chilton.
Recent research by LV= travel insurance revealed that holidays in Cornwall are one of the most popular options for those choosing not to head abroad, with nine per cent of holidaymakers heading there.
