WORK HISTORY
Host @Coastal Catch Ups
I started Coastal Catch Ups with a pretty broad brush of coastal sustainability covering all topics and industries. The idea was to educate people through online content. I soon found it pretty exhausting covering all these different topics and I wanted to add my more own expertise and experience to the mix, so I decided to niche down.I now use it as a platform to educate watersports or coastal organisations on their environmental impact and how to reduce it. It is very enjoyable and I have mainly been working voluntarily in the sailing community in Northern Ireland including Strangford Lough Management Groups, Sailing Clubs, Activity Centres and Royal Yachting Association Committees.All my work has been voluntary and hope to make a difference to our local coasts, and those joining coastal catch ups from afar!
