I’m currently working in Northern Cyprus as an onboard observer. The Cyprus bycatch project and SPOT Marine Life have been collecting data since 2018 on fisheries and bycatch, I will be using this data to explore diversity and distribution of elasmobranchs in the area- Martha O’Keefe

Planning a coastal walk this half term? Remember to #givesealsspace and #keepyourdistance •Use binoculars to watch seals •Use a Zoom lens to take pictures to keep distance (>100m) •Be quiet •If a seal is looking at you, you are too close •Never touch or feed a wild seal!
