The Annual General Meeting of Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society will take place in the Normanby Room at Whitby Museum on Sunday 8th March at 2pm.
The meeting will be followed by a short talk by Dr Jane Pottas entitled ‘Stranger on the Shore’, looking at the marine algal flora and what museum collections can tell us about the algal biodiversity of our shores.
This talk will describe some of the projects which have been funded to extract data from reference material in seaweed herbariums and what we can glean from this information.
Members and non members most welcome.
