Research Associate at The Lyell Centre (@LyellCentre). Exploring the adaptation of scallop dredge fishing gear to reduce environmental impacts.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Joined October 2020
I attended the @maf_world training school to learn the future of marine image annotation using A.I. software such as #RootPainter. I hope to use what I learned in the next couple of months on images/video from seabed disturbance trials (EASIG project) in North Wales @LyellCentre
