Megan Elsmore, a non-resident Tristanian, is studying the fish in Tristan’s waters as part of her PhD at Aberystwyth University, in partnership with the Tristan Fisheries Department. 🐟🐠
The pristine, wildlife-rich near shore waters around Tristan are dominated by eight species of ...fish including Five finger (Nemodactylus monodactylus), Wrasse (Suezichthys ornatus) and Klipfish (Bovichtus diacanthus), which is found nowhere else in the world!
In August, Megan spent two months working with the Fisheries Department undertaking fish sampling and monitoring field work. 🛥
Megan hopes to provide data to help us better understand the diversity of fish life in Tristan’s waters. Her research findings should help to inform future marine management for fish.

Last month Tristan’s Marine Protection Zone Officer visited Vancouver, Canada to join hundreds of marine professionals at the International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5). 🌊🐧🐋🐟
Janine represented the Tristan da Cunha community at the event and gave several speeches ...and presentations about Tristan’s community-led, wildlife-rich Marine Protection Zone.
The conference was packed with inspirational speakers, networking opportunities and innovative approaches to marine protection.
In her own words Janine said “The congress was a real eye-opening experience. One lesson that stands out for me is to tell your story. Many people that I met hadn’t heard about Tristan before, and I’m glad that I have been able to raise awareness of our remote island and our huge Marine Protection Zone”
In an RSPB Conservation Action blog Janine shares her conference experience with us…
