In May 2026 the Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association will once again be running one of its popular Focus Meetings. This meeting will focus on the Coasts and Estuaries of Eastern Scotland. The meeting will cover a wide range of topics ranging from novel science to restoration, pollution control, nature conservation, recreation and the activities of local special interest groups. The informal atmosphere of the Focus Meetings provides an ideal opportunity for students and early career scientists to present their work.
