CCT Trustee Dr Nicole Esteban, an Associate Professor in Marine Ecology from Swansea University who runs the Swansea Marine Conservation and Ecology Lab (MarCEL), has received the prestigious Zoological Society of London (ZSL) Marsh Award for Marine and Freshwater Conservation!

This well-deserved recognition highlights her groundbreaking research and its impact on protecting marine and freshwater ecosystems (information on Dr Esteban's publications and research).

Dr Esteban's work in tracking green and hawksbill turtles in the Chagos Archipelago has been used to establish vital conservation zones. She has also led efforts to study the effects of climate change on nesting sea turtles, including hatchling feminisation and the loss of nesting beaches due to rising sea levels.
