The world's seas and oceans are home to some truly revolting creatures with equally disgusting habits. This week-long event highlights a selection of gross behaviour ranging from starfish that throw up their own stomachs to fish that eat poo! Discover more about the smelliest, squidgiest and slimiest marine animals and why their disgusting habits are essential for surviving in the depths.  Events include workshops and the chance to get 'hands on'.
