Today sees the publication of our Annual Science Review for 2017\/18. The Review, which highlights the impacts and achievements of Marine Scotland Science (MSS), details the overall contribution and support that our scientists make to the work of Marine Scotland.\"Aquaculture<\/a><\/p>\n

During this period we have published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and supported more than 75 Scottish, UK, European and International organisations. In addition, our two research vessels, MRV Scotia and MRV Alba na Mara, have had another busy year with 534 combined days at sea. Without these research surveys much of our science, data sets, statistics and advice wouldn\u2019t be possible.<\/p>\n

For every marine related activity there is someone at MSS who has critical knowledge and research skills that enables us to give robust, trusted advice and guidance. Everyone plays an important part in the work we do and how it impacts on the wider world.<\/p>\n

Professor Colin Moffat BEM commented: \u201cIn my new role as Chief Scientific Advisor Marine I will continue to work closely with many of the colleagues responsible for delivering the work of MSS and I look forward to maintaining the good relations I have with them. I enjoyed my tenure as Head of Science very much and am immensely proud of all that we achieved\u201d.<\/p>\n
