For the first time, at #FSBI2025, we ran the #FSBIGreenTravel award to promote more sustainable travel to our conference. We were thrilled by the response and the efforts that people went to in order to lower their carbon emissions. In 1st place, we had Maddi Garate Olaizola! This is Maddi's story:

Our final medal award winner is Oliver Crimmen, of the Nautral History Museum (London), who was awarded this year's Le Cren Medal. With over 50 years of experience, some species are now present in the collection but extinct in the wild, which gives much pause for thought #FSBI2025

An exciting excursion to the @afbini.gov.uk River Bush Salmon Station, followed by a trip to the mouth of the river bush, to round off the day! A treat to see some impressive returning salmon, as well as dolphins just off the coast, probably feeding on some now non-so-returning salmon... #FSBI2025
