Simon Slattery – MSc Student, University of Portsmouth
We have awarded a grant to Simon Slattery, a student on the MSc Coastal and Marine Resource Management course at the University of Portsmouth. Simon previously studied for a BSc in Physical Geography at Portsmouth and while focussed now on the marine environment his previous research included valley dynamics in northern Finland and beach degradation/management in Malta. As a result of trips around the south coast, he has become interested in the challenge posed by microplastics in the marine environment.
