🦭Introducing our new committee members for #UKIRSC27! 🐬 First up is Thomas Stone, a PhD student at the University of Oxford. His research aims to develop & apply novel methods & technologies to help monitor seal populations. He's excited already looking forward to next year’s conference!

Some species are difficult to get close to, but drones can navigate this issue and avoid disturbing animals 🦭 New research will improve our ability to monitor species and help us make effective conservation decisions 👇 bit.ly/4fPEV5T
