Coastal detective up for biology prize

A marine scientist who helped to lead the UK’s largest marine citizen science project has been nominated for a UK award. Dr Hannah Grist was based at SAMS when she headed up Capturing Our Coast Scotland, part of the UK-wide Capturing Our Coast project that trained more than 2,500 volunteers to help survey the British coastline. Dr Grist has now been shortlisted at the 2018 UK Awards for Biological Recording and Information Sharing.
