Drawing from her career as a marine mammal specialist, Ashleigh will share her experiences in studying and protecting these creatures, highlighting the skills required and the impact of her work on broader conservation efforts. Whether you're passionate about marine life or curious about careers in conservation, this talk will offer valuable insights into the world of marine mammal conservation in Scotland.
