Specialising in the ecological assessment of freshwater diatoms - microscopic, photosynthetic algae characterized by their unique silica cell walls - we deliver expert insight into responsible management using this indicator of environmental health. More broadly, our focus is on providing high-quality scientific data and advice to support policies relating to nature conversation and water management.

We are also passionate about helping people reconnect with nature, ultimately ensuring a more sustainable future for us all. We therefore work with local community groups and organisations, as well as with individuals, offering specially curated outreach experiences and programmes. Through active learning and participation, a deeper ecological understanding and appreciation of the interconnectedness of all living beings is ultimately achieved.
