“My Membership has been a source of inspiration and support throughout my journey in marine science, I started out as a YMB and I’m now a Student Member. It has given me valuable insights into the field and helped me build connections that have continued to support me. Without my Membership, I wouldn’t have heard about the Sharkademy Shark Specialist Residency in Wales, which I was lucky enough to attend in 2026.”
