Starting Small
Did you know that we have sharks in UK waters? This particular species might not make the headlines, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve attention! Join marine biologists Liberty Denman and Jasmine Somerville in the shallows as they shed light on a species that is so often overlooked and yet overcaught: the Small Spotted Catshark.
Love Fishing Love Nature:
Protecting our endangered sharks
Collecting data is something we typically associate with a scientist in a lab coat, but that isn’t always the case. Recreational angling holds huge potential to help us understand more about the species beneath the waves, and here’s the proof.

Colne Valley Collaborations
Having lead on a new campaign with the Angling Trust ‘Love Fishing Love Nature’ - all about celebrating the unspoken conservation work anglers lead on as the eyes and ears of our waterways. We won’t get anywhere trying to protect wildlife alone, collaboration is key - and as a subject very close to my heart, these guys showed us how powerful working together can be.
Behind Anemone Lines
All too often, the focus is on species that are endangered, need help, or are wildly charismatic. Sometimes it’s nice to appreciate what we have on our doorstep before it gets to that point. With the help of scientist, Dr. Sarah Lane, we have dived into knee deep water to see the territorial trials and tribulations of beadlet anemones.
Miles for Meadows fundraiser
Having been to university in the south west, my appreciation for the resident underwater and terrestrial biodiversity has only grown with time.
Unfortunately, some of this biodiversity is under threat. So we decided to do something about it, with the help of the Ocean Conservation Trust and a pair of walking boots.
