Marine Champion mascot, Arthur enthusiasm, hard work and commitment shown by all the participating Marine Champions and their clubs over the summer.
“ I would like to thank everyone who has rolled up their wetsuit sleeves and got involved in our‘ summer of action’! It has been wonderful to see the creativity and passion shown by everyone as they worked hard to make a difference for our precious marine environment.”
With a range of citizen science data collected over the summer now contributing to longer-term projects via portals such as iNaturalist and project partners, including The Shark Trust, Katherine said the Marine Champion project was going from strength to strength.
“ The original intention of the Action Weekends was to provide a focus for all of the fantastic work that has been going on during the first full summer of the Marine
Champion project. And we are pleased to report that we have almost doubled our event target, so congratulations to everyone who took part.”
The BSAC Marine Champion Team is now focusing its attention on growing the network, with a target of at least 100 Marine Champions by the end of the year.
“ We are now working on some exciting Marine Champion plans for 2027. So, if you are interested in becoming a Marine Champion for your club, we would love to welcome you onboard,” Katherine added.
