‘Project Starfish’ helps pupils, and the public, learn how to spot, identify and record starfish on the South Wales shore by looking at the different species you can find here in Wales, what to do when you see one, how to rescue them and top tips on how you can help protect them from harm when on the beach or rockpooling.

Our project teaches:

• How to record starfish and other under-recorded

  rockpool species.

• Why recording is important.

• The Starfish species of Wales.

• What makes a Starfish a Starfish looking at body

  parts and functions.

• How to rescue stranded starfish including signs

  that a starfish may be ill.
