Meet the Scientist: Seabird Research & Conservation in the Firth of Forth

Catch up with the Scottish Seabird Centre’s Conservation Team to hear about their latest conservation activities, projects, research and monitoring underway on our local islands and along the coastline. Based in North Berwick, the charity advocates for healthier seas and coastlines, engages people in hands-on conservation projects such as the award-winning ‘SOS Puffin’, and leads vital research and monitoring activities to support local seabird populations and help them thrive. Emily Burton, Conservation Manager, has been with the Scottish Seabird Centre since 2019. Joined latterly by Conservation Officer Emma Marriott, their roles involve monitoring wildlife and habitats, controlling invasive species, working with volunteers to complete practical conservation activities on the islands and along the coast, supporting citizen science projects, working with research partners, and encouraging people of all walks of life to act in support of seabirds. This event is a FREE online talk, but numbers are limited. No former knowledge required. This is a 1 hour online session. A Zoom link, full joining instructions and information about the event will be shared via email the day of the event.
