Cecilia

I love the coast, maps and building stuff.

Cecilia is a Marine Ecologist currently working in freshwater ecology and learning how to develop websites dealing with geospatial data. She brings her skills and enthusiasm to our interactive map.

As a marine scientist, I know that one of the main issues in coastal conservation is the disconnect between the public and their local environment. This project is a great way to connect communities with their local coastal environment and raise awareness about conservation issues.

Tom

Big outdoor fan, love hiking and climbing, beer and whisky as well as a good fantasy book!

Tom is a GIS specialist and map enthusiast involved in developing our interactive map.

Maps offer a glimpse into the past and with them we can begin to understand how we have shaped our natural environments and with them we can begin to understand what the natural world might look like for the times ahead.

Adam

I am a keen traveler who also enjoys walking and camping as well as going cycling as often as possible

Adam, a graduate of Geography and Geology at Leeds, is about to start his MRes in October and is dedicating some time to the creation of our map in the mean time.

I am passionate about our coastlines and the natural beauty and serenity they possess and I feel that the work the Plover Rovers will achieve is of vital importance as it will help the public become educated about our coasts and the multitude of habitats they support and thus hopefully help us protect them.

Dogs' Best Friend, Travel Lover

Kim holds a degree in Marine Biology and is a freelance science writer with a passion for GIS who helps develop and maintain our interactive map.

GIS has been part of my interests as a marine science researcher, and Plover Rovers is giving me the opportunity to incorporate this system to its mission of bridging the gap between science and the coastal community.

Zain

I am artistic,  A marvel comics aficionado, foodie and a bookworm!

Zain studied Conservation Management and particularly likes the creative possibilities which mapping softwares such as GIS supply.

I am passionate about this organisation because of its primary focus and awareness on ocean literacy. I personally am passionate about the marine/coastal environment because of its importance and the natural processes involved as well as the specialist species that rely on such habitats.
