Dr Alan Jordan with some of his amazing images

The 3rd Annual Marine Science Forum ‘Food for Thought’ was another great success with people travelling from far and wide to attend.

6 impressive speakers kept the audience captive with amazing educational presentations and spectacular imagery about subjects such as marine habitats, ocean currents, fisheries management and aquaculture of both oysters and sea urchins.

Drs Williamson, Stewart & Rowling met up with local seaweed enthusiast Eva Horne

The 2 day event has now secured a

permanent place in the annual calendar of many local community members as well

as many of the speakers, both past and present.  Many presenters have commented that the Forum offers them a rare opportunity to present to the public.

Many newcomers said that whilst they came to ‘learn something’ they were happily surprised that they also thoroughly enjoyed the learning process.

Feedback has been as positive as ever and the Research Advisory Group will now begin securing speakers for Forum 2012.
