    The coast is a dynamic thriving environment where land and sea meet. It is a boundary that constantly changes and shifts through time. This environment supports a wide range of organisms and there is a lot that can be learnt from remnants of creatures found on the coast, like shells or fossils. They can tell us about environments of the past or help us predict how things might change in the future. Dr Leanne Melbourne will touch on the dynamic Norfolk Coastline, the past and its future, and the creatures you might meet along the way.
