Join the Restoration Forth team for an informative evening as part of the Restoration Forth lecture series. Ethan Ross, a PhD student studying seagrass ecology at the University of Aberdeen will be presenting data from his PhD, which has sought to identify and record the different marine organisms which utilise these habitats. Ethan has employed a range of techniques both traditional and new to help uncover the diversity of life found in UK seagrass meadows.
The learning hub will open its doors at 18:00pm to allow attendees to take their seats and get a warm drink. The talk will commence at 18:15pm, and last approximately 45 minutes, with time for questions and chat afterwards. This session will finish at 19:15pm.

Who we are:
Restoration Forth is a major marine restoration programme working with communities to restore seagrass habitats and European flat oyster populations in the Firth of Forth. Our goal is to inspire and give agency to community members from around the Forth to participate in and lead on restoration activities in the marine environment. Restoration Forth is managed by WWF Scotland but is a partnership of scientific institutions, environmental charities, and community hubs.
The first phase of Restoration Forth (2022-24) was made possible by funding from Aviva, the Moondance Foundation, the ScottishPower Foundation and the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, facilitated by the Scottish Marine Environmental Enhancement Fund, and managed by NatureScot.
The current phase of Restoration Forth is made possible by funding from Sky and the Cinven Foundation; the project is supported by the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, managed by NatureScot.
