Sarah and Sue first met in 2011. A decade later & Sarah has been SRT’s longest serving marine ranger!

Top tips are: Put yourself out there, take risks, work hard, care about other people & find a job that feeds your passion.

@Shark_ManDan We encourage that people seek out a @WiSeScheme accredited vessel knowing that they have gone through some training - I believe this is mainly for wildlife watching experiences/coastal adventure activities though rather than being intended for angling vessels.

Continue to be a proud advisor to the ECHO Program, to reduce the impacts of shipping. Since 2017, thousands of operators have slowed down or stayed distanced while in endangered SR killer whale habitat, reducing underwater sound by up to 55%. #QuieterOceansForHealthierWhales

Online courses in Feb and March now available - see https://t.co/UifTtlfSKC for dates.

A plea to folks: if you see a single chough & it is calling persistently, please move away as you are too close to him and probably his nest site. Please give choughs space at this time of year. Thank you!
