Hi, I’m Leah, the Graphic Designer at FMC! After spending countless holidays in Cornwall, I’ve developed a deep love for the ocean and the wildlife that call it home. With a background in marketing and a distinction in Level 3 Digital Marketing, I’m excited to design content that supports the team!

Right now, the MMO is consulting on banning bottom trawling in offshore Marine Protected Areas.
If adopted, protection here could rise from just 3% to over 20% – a huge win for marine life!

🦪✨ 6,496 fewer gatecrashers on our shores!
Our latest Pacific oyster survey is complete. These shellfish may look innocent, but they can crowd out native species and reshape our rocky shores.
Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers for their eagle eyes (and strong backs!)

We had a lovely time at the seaweed pressing workshop last weekend 🌊🌿 A few of us from the committee headed to the Princess Pavilion Café to try out the seaweed press and get a bit creative!
We only took a small amount from the strandline + returned anything we didn’t use.
Such a wholesome day.
