Sea Jersey
Born into a centuries old Jersey family, Andrew Syvret has salt in his blood. As a young boy he worked out local tide tables before mastering times tables and dreamt of growing up to be one of the lighthouse-keepers at La Corbière.
Andrew has been involved with ‘Moonwalks’, which came to life in 1996 as an exercise to educate the Island’s population in the ways of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, since the beginning. ‘Moonwalks’ take place under the sun (usually) and explore a savage low tide seascape of gutters, reefs, tidal flats, lagoons, sandbanks and boulder fields - said to resemble the surface of Earth’s largest satellite. ‘Lunatic Nightwalks’ proceed gently under the light of a full moon, more often than not involve a little Calvados, and occur just once or twice each month.

He has already cheerfully rockpooled and beachwalked for children’s parties, political fieldtrips, lunar eclipses, wedding anniversaries, meteorite showers, conferences and corporate get-togethers (inspirational breakfasts at sunrise for example), so use your imagination…
