The daughter of one of our members has been chosen to go on a prestigious expedition to Northern Norway in November. The all-women group of scientists, sailors, explorers, photographers and artists will research the impact of humans and the changing environment on orca behaviour and also monitor the disappearance of sea ice in the Arctic. Their aim is to encourage action to protect vulnerable regions through research, advocacy, education and art.
Her daughter has agreed to give a talk to our WI next year when all the data has been analysed. It should make for a very interesting and informative meeting.
