The Marine World -
A Natural History of Ocean Life
The Huntingdonshire Local Group of the Wildlife Trust invites
you to listen to this fascinating talk on
Wednesday 13th November 2019 at 7.30pm.
Dr. Frances Dipper is an author, lecturer and independent
marine consultant, whose major work, ‘The Marine World: A
Natural History of Ocean Life,’ has been published recently.
Frances will describe an immense three-dimensional living
space inhabited by marine life that varies from the mundane
to the bizarre. Its salty influence extends along river estuar-
ies, over seashores, and inland with brine-laden spray.
Anyone who is interested is most welcome to attend.
Meetings are held at Brampton Memorial Hall, Thrapston
Road, Brampton, PE28 4TB starting at 7.30pm. Booking not
necessary.
For more information please contact Alistair Grant
