The February meeting of the Arran Natural History Society took place at the Rangers Centre on Thursday February 1 and heard a fascinating presentation from David Nairn of the Clyde Porpoise Group CIC.
The group is focused on the research and conservation of marine species in the Clyde and surrounding seas. They operate a survey vessel to obtain information on marine mammal distribution and abundance. Scientific data is being used to support conservation measures and inform marine management policy.
