Wester Ross MPA Discovery Day
The Wester Ross Marine Protected Area Discovery Day, on the 14th October, aims to open a window into the MPA a wee bit wider, aiming to inspire other people to learn more about the wealth of marine life which inhabits this remote corner of the British Isles. Organised by the Wester Ross Fisheries Trust and others, there will be reports on recent scientific surveys of the MPA, lots of video footage of wild fish and other benthic critters, and opportunities to share other stories and take part in future investigations and exploration. The gathering will feature music and words from acclaimed storyteller Heather Yule, singer Joanie Bones, and other local performers.
