LECTURE SERIES AND DOCUMENTARY SCREENINGS
Over the last 2 years, we have hosted a variety of talks from academics and professional scientists, ranging from PhD students to Marine Scotland, lecturers to Marine Conservation Society. Our member's interests are key for these events- get in touch to let us know what topics you want to know more about!
Documentary screenings, such as Blue Planet are a more informal yet educational way to learn about the diversity of the marine environment. We are excited to be screening Blue Planet 2 this year!

Fortnightly beach cleans along Aberdeen Beach are our main community involvement event. We are grateful to be sponsored by Aberdeen City Council, without which these clean up projects would not happen.
