ANYONE with an interest in the marine world is invited to attend a meeting at the end of the month.

The Marine Conservation Society Plymouth Local Group meets on the last Thursday of each month to host a series of talks about the marine environment.

Talks are usually held at the Marine Biological Association at Plymouth Hoe, starting at 7pm.

For its July monthly meeting, John Rundle will talk about 'The story of the Cuttlefish from egg to Budgerigar cage'.

Entry is free to local group members (£10/year for entry to all talks) and association members, and £2 for everyone else.

Profits go to the society – the UK charity dedicated to protecting our seas, shores and wildlife.
