SEASHELLS

Hopeman is one of many popular holiday villages located around the Moray Firth.

SEASHORE SAFETY

Take care! The seashore can be a slippery, rocky place - watch your step, and check the tide times before exploring!

Observe and record seashore creatures but leave them and their habitat as you found them. Only collect empty shells and leave plenty as homes for hermit crabs.

Always leave the seashore as you found it. Carefully replace rocks and seaweed in rockpools. Make sure you take your rubbish home.
