The Wildlife Explorer
Welcome to The Wildlife Explorer, a podcast by Essex Wildlife Trust, where we aim to inspire you with our work to protect the wildlife and wild places of Essex and what you can do to help wildlife wherever you live.
Spiny lobster, crawfish, crayfish, rock lobsters - many names, one animal! This pretty lobster was made extinct in many areas through overfishing, but is now making a slow comeback.
A well known inhabitant of UK seas, common lobsters can reach up to 60cm in length.
By taking small actions and making small changes, we can help to protect and conserve our beautiful coastline.
The brown shrimp blends perfectly with its seabed home and is found all around the coasts of the UK.
A bizarre half lobster/half crab, this squat lobster is one of the true stunners of the rocky shore!
Essex Wildlife Trust is calling for volunteers to get involved with monthly beach cleans
