THE Lancashire Area Group of the Marine Conservation Society is calling on beach lovers to take part in surveys of sections of Morecambe Bay.

A recruitment campaign will be held at a projects promotions meeting on February 28 at the University of Lancaster's Furness Lecture Theatre.

Group chairman Ron Crosby said that over the last few years, the North West had been under represented in the society's Beachwatch surveys. It is now the group's aim to encourage people to help take part in surveys of more stretches of coastline along the Lancashire and Cumbria sections of Morecambe Bay.
