Thank you Mark Ruskell for coming along to our Community Event, sharing your insights & advice & discussing campaigning, engagement & communities with Young Sea Changers Scotland today! Itโ€™s invaluable for young people to have opportunities to directly engage/communicate with politicians ๐ŸŒŠ

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, so I decided to write something for it. 3rd July marked 8 years since my attempt. On Friday I move to Falmouth to start my dream Masters. Iโ€™ll be moving near the sea for the first time. Give yourself a chance, thereโ€™s so much life to live ๐Ÿ’™

Not sure what Iโ€™m more excited about, having finally moved near the sea, starting my Masters, or finally having a bookcase that can display all my marine & environment books ๐Ÿคฃ

Always dreamed of living near a beach. Moved to Falmouth a week ago. All week itโ€™s been hot & sunny so Iโ€™ve taken full advantage, sea swimming every day. Gylly is my local. Yesterday was the only day I didnโ€™t, instead went rockpooling. Plenty of folks did swim though.

Great first 2 days out on the sea for Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) @ExeterMarine ๐ŸŒŠ Lots of gannets, grey seals, common dolphins & porpoise (yesterday) & bottlenose dolphins today. Other groups spotted a minke & tuna, they managed to evade us. Hopefully spot them soon too ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

The fact that even in the current offshore MPA consultation, management isnโ€™t being proposed for those areas within MPAs that are actually subject to intense fishing is beyond me. Again, taking the absolute โ€˜pโ€™ out of protection. & still no sign of an inshore consultationโ€ฆ

Assigned a presentation topic for one of my modules of โ€˜can MPAs benefit both marine vertebrate conservation & local communities?โ€™ This is something Iโ€™m REALLY interested in & been a keen advocate on for a while, but curious to know othersโ€™ thoughts (either way)

wondering why Iโ€™m so exhausted today, but yesterday I gave an assessed presentation, after a 12+ hr drive from Scotland the day before, getting shingles from stress (+ a cold), & attending a loved oneโ€™s funeral (all since Monday) that might be why ๐Ÿซ

Looking forward to being part of this panel discussing my background & experience in navigating the world of marine conservation & its barriers to access. Please share with young folks in your networks! ๐Ÿฉต

Except they donโ€™t protect 37% of Scottish seas. Later in this very report itโ€™s detailed that few of these sites actually have management measures in place. It is plain and simple: management of activity is what provides protection. This shameful bluewashing.
