Expedition – Western Ecology Tour
The UK’s marine environments are under more pressure than ever before. From the visible plastic pollution littering our beaches down to the invisible damage done by discarded fishing gear and intensive or sometimes illegal fishing practices that damage the sea bed. We need a better understanding and awareness of the issues and actions to protect the seas we all love and depend on.
I assembled an expert group of divers and marine scientists for an expedition to assess the marine environments around the UK coast and to support the vital work that scientists are doing to protect them for future generations.
With the support of Maria Harwood, Andy Hunt and Simon Rogerson, we not only completed the expedition with the support and backing of BSAC, but also produced a fantastic feature article in the November 2021 issue of SCUBA magazine
