Skye & Lochalsh Environment Forum

SLEF is a wildlife group concerned with exploring and providing education about the region's diverse nature plus biological recording,  surveying and monitoring for conservation. We cover not only the Isle of Skye, but also the adjacent mainland regions of Southwest Ross, Glen Shiel and Glenelg.
We organise field and indoor meetings to meet the members requirements plus, recently, a quarterly online newsletter, which is proving very popular. We also have specialist two sub-groups: 1. The Scottish Salmon Think-Tank (SST-T), concerned about salmon farms and 2. The South Skye Seas Initiative (SSSi) set up to survey Lochs Slapin, Eishort and Scavaig where the biodiversity is very rich. For that purpose, SSSi has a remotely controlled underwater 'drone' (ROV) with lights and cameras, run from a substantial boat, The Orion.
Not only does SLEF welcome new members, but we also need new people to help with the Sea Lochs survey, so please enquire: info@slef.org.uk. Website: www.slef.org.uk.
