Wonderful to be celebrating the partnership between Edinburgh Uni and St Abbs Marine Lab 🤝 Watch this space for new collaborative research

Thanks to everyone who celebrated our signing ceremony last week. On 23 June 2022, we were able to come together in person to commemorate the 5 yr collaboration between St Abbs Marine Station & The University of Edinburgh, which started in 2020. See our Facebook page for a full photo album
