Education
We have run our own education project, which
produced the publication Thinking on the Edge.
We receive lots of enquiries from students.
To try to directs students to sources of information
we've made a list below of some of the current
"hot topics". We are always pleased
to receive a summary of the findings of completed
projects, and wish any students studying Morecambe
Bay success with their studies.

Information for students
We get lots of enquiries from A-level and
undergraduate students each year, and we will do our
best to help. Our student pages have
been designed to answer some of the most frequently
asked questions, and to provide a "one-stop
shop" with links to all of the information
available on the Morecambe Bay Partnership website.
We have also included a number of ideas for research
projects based on current issues in and around the
Bay.

We
have a factsheet about
the saltmarshes of Morecambe Bay. The
factsheet has been developed by Denys Vaughan, a
local teacher, who shares his accumulated knowledge
of many years through the production of this student
resource. The factsheet is aimed at A-level students
and answers some of the most frequently asked
questions. It contains diagrams, ideas for
study and a detailed reading list. A range of
subjects including geology, geography and flora are
covered.

to download a PDF version of our saltmarsh
factsheet. You will need
Acrobat Reader to read this file - click on the

the Adobe website.
We also have a short paper about Spartina
anglica written by Trevor Harwood, a local
ecologist.
Spartina anglica (cord grass) has
colonised the shore at Grange-over-Sands over the
last few years. A brief note about the current
management of Spartina at Grange-over-Sands is
available by clicking here.
