Best Expedition
Report
The "ASADA Best Expedition Report Award"
is presented annually to the Expedition Leader assessed
by the ASADA committee to have produced the best report
following a recognised adventure
training expedition. Weight will be attached to
truly expeditionary trips and
content which actually reflects the
problems overcome enabling other expeditions to follow
in their path. The report may be supported with
photographs but presentation will not win out over
content.
Nominations are to be sent to the
Expedition Officer. |

Seasearch Observer's Guide to Marine Life of Britain and
Ireland
ASADA has made the decision to present winners of the
ASADA Awards with a copy of the Sea Search Observer’s
Guide to Marine Life of Britain and Ireland to keep as a
memento of the award. The decision was made for two
reasons; to support the valuable work being done by the
Marine Conservation Society (MCS) and to promote Marine
Conservation amongst the ASADA Membership. ASADA also
encourages members to become members of the MCS.
The
Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the UK charity dedicated to caring for
our seas, shores and wildlife. MCS campaigns for clean
seas and beaches, sustainable fisheries, and protection
for all marine life. On this site, you can find out more
about marine animals from whales, dolphins, sharks and
turtles, to fish, plankton, corals and crabs. You can
support MCS in our vital work to save our seas, by
joining MCS
as a
supporter, making a donation, or taking part in projects
about mcs.
MCS also has dedicated marine conservation programmes
for
Scotland
and
Wales.
Those wanting to know more about the MSC and the Sea
Search Project should look at the attached hyper links;

A
brief report on this wonderful book is below |
|
|
| This brand new and lavishly
illustrated book aims to introduce divers and
snorkellers to a selection of the animals and
plants from sponges to fishes and sea squirts to
seaweeds, that are most regularly seen in our
waters. It contains over 200 species, each
illustrated by a photograph taken underwater,
and includes pointers on how to recognise many
more. In addition to a description there is
information on depth, habitat and distribution
all essential to a confident identification. The
Guide is especially aimed at divers looking for
a good all round introduction to the animals and
plants they will see on their dives. If you only
buy one marine life identification guide this is
the one you should choose! |
