Blair Watson is the Stronger Shores Marine Engagement Officer at Durham Wildlife Trust. Blair engages communities with the project, highlighting the importance of kelp, oyster reefs, and sea grass and how they help to protect the North East’s coastline.

Blair has a degree in Marine Science, and a Master’s in Science Communication. Blair is passionate about working with local people, helping to build a stronger relationship between those he works with and the marine environment, thus helping to protect coastal habitats and build ocean literacy amongst the groups he engages with. He has previously worked at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh’s Science Centre, where he engaged communities across Scotland with deep-sea natural and historical heritage, and at the Marine Conservation Society, where he engaged local communities with the nearby native oyster restoration project, the Dornoch Environmental Enhancement Project (DEEP).

His work will support communities to be stronger in the face of flooding, erosion and the impacts of climate change.
