'....to eat it is our culture, but if it's not sustainable, it's killing our culture' #maritimeIWT25 #CefasScience

Illegal marine wildlife trade is complex, cross-border and undermines attempts at protecting biodiversity in our ocean. Only deep cross-organisational collaboration will allow it to be tackled. An excellent start this week with colleagues from UK and across ASEAN #maritimeIWT25 #CefasScience

A fantastic couple of days ahead in Singapore talking with regional experts about illegal trading in marine species #CefasScience #maritimeIWT25
