Launch of Moray Ocean Community film!

To help promote Moray Ocean Community and help recruit more volunteers and encourage more folk to get involved we chose to use some of the funding we had received from Fauna and Flora to create a short film. A huge thanks too all the amazing volunteers who came along to our two filming days and being such incredible ambassadors for MOC!

Earlier this year we had two very fun filled days with over twenty volunteers with Mike from Spiral Out Pictures to gather the content for the film. One day was spent at Fortrose, Cromarty and Rosemarkie where we completed Slipper Limpet Surveys, Shorewatch surveys looking for whales and dolphins and ended at Rosemarkie beach where some of us went rockpooling and the rest went in for a swim and snorkel!

The next day was spent at Findhorn and Hopeman. We took out the paddleboards and snorkel gear to look at the seagrass we had been mapping in Findhorn Bay Nature Reserve before heading to Findhorn beach for an Oyster Shell Survey. We finished the day at Hopeman for a Big Seaweed Search and some rockpooling.

Please do make a cuppa and enjoy watching the film on our brand new YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MorayOceanCommunity

Thank you again to everyone who helped support the film and we hope you enjoy it!
