Andy Willson – Future Seas and the paddle ahead

As Mark launches into the next stage of the Oman 3165 Expedition he drops into see marine ecologist Andy Willson in Muscat. Andy set up Future seas, an Oman based marine research and conservation company and has been a huge supporter of the expedition.

During the expedition pause, Andy has been servicing the hydrophone and setting up the analysis of the recordings Mark has been gathering each day.

In this fascinating conversation, Andy gives Mark a preview of the marine habitats he will be passing through and an insight into the oceanography that makes this section of the Omani coastline so special.
