Families and people of all ages attended this free event, and experienced an array of exciting, hands-on activities where they could explore underwater worlds.

Participants worked with scientists and artists to investigate and learn about freshwater habitats and their biodiversity.

Sound Fishing: led by Adrian Newton (Bournemouth University), David Rogers (electricbackroom STUDIO) and Lynn Davy involved getting the public listening to nature through a variety of microphones and hydrophones.
