Marine biologists visit Alderney for scuba diving research trip

A group of UK marine biologists are visiting Alderney for a research trip, to improve the island's ecological records.

Twenty-seven members from the Porcupine Marine Natural History Society (PMNHS), arrived on the island on September 12, for a one week stay supported by the Alderney Wildlife Trust.

The marine environment in Alderney is still largely unrecorded, and the field trip will investigate under-recorded marine habitats and species, through a variety of methods including diving.
