SDG #14 - Citizen science and Whale & Dolphin Conservation in Scotland

In this episode of SDGTalks I invite on Alison Lomax, the director of the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, to discuss marine mammal conservation in the west coast of Scotland (https://hwdt.org/). Alison outlines the trust’s approach to conservation through citizen science and the engagement of the wider public in the support of sighting and tracking. The conversation is close to me, as I plan to set out on an adventure race to fundraise for the charity in August of next year. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAt80-ub6Lc&t=57s)
