One of our Directors went out for a Halloween morning Oyster shell survey!
Trick or treat? Fireworks litter or an oyster shell? Both found during my spooky morning oyster shell survey at Roseisle beach! Try your best to reduce, reuse & leave no trace for a sustainable spooky season! @mcsuk @morayocean #Halloween

Director Terrie & vol Rowena completed a Seagrass survey at another section of Findhorn bay today for @findhornwater . With geese overhead & evidence of nutrient enrichment they couldn't help but wonder if migratory geese & water quality impact on the seagrass in this area?
