MEET THE TEAM

Claire Carrington joined Sea Watch Foundation in May 2026 to work on the Caru’r Cefni Project, having previously worked in marine ecological research, teaching and science communication. Caru’r Cefni aims to raise awareness of how rivers link to marine environments, focusing on the Afon Cefni on Anglesey. The project will make new contacts with communities and organisations to support biodiversity improvements and research environmental governance models. Claire has previously contributed to environmental community projects in the UK and abroad and taught marine science to a range of student groups. She holds an BSc in Applied Terrestrial and Marine Ecology, an MSc in Marine Environmental Protection and a PhD in seabird ecology from Bangor University. Claire is dedicated to communicating marine science and creating opportunities for people and communities to learn, connect and care for the natural world.
