Monday 1st – Sunday 7th June 2026 marks #VolunteersWeek so we’d like to give a huge shout out and thank you to our four dedicated Fair Isle Marine Research Organisation volunteer trustees Neil, Steven, Susannah and Fiona who work tirelessly to support the advancement of the Fair Isle Demonstration and Research MPA project and marine citizen science in Fair Isle.

Over the weekend FIMRO’s seasonal Education Officer David Parnaby led a group of brilliant volunteers made up of islanders, visitors and guests staying at the Fair Isle Bird Observatory to carry out a beach clean at Leestit.
