Dale Fort Field Study Centre Symposium 2018

Yesterday the 17th March the FSC at Dale Fort held it's 6th Marine Research Symposium. One of the speakers was our own Holly Dunn project co-ordinator for the Fin ID Project. Anna, myself and Gita one of our new interns went along for support and to take in the latest thoughts and concerns from the world of local marine research and conservation. Holly delivered a well crafted  and detailed presentation on the aims, method and findings of the Fin ID project to date and outlined the plans for future expansion. Although it was a long day the topics were varied and interesting and if one thing became clear it was the struggle everyone has in getting funding as most of the bodies that provide the funding seem to be looking for economic rather than enviromental outcomes. So cudos to Holly for a job well done in promoting Sea Trust and it's work in this field.
