The SCAMP Team
SCAMP is currently delivering its work through Dumfries and Galloway’s Environment Team. As the project attracts further funding, the plan is that the team will change and expand, offering many opportunities for specialist marine biologists and other SCAMP supporting roles.
We would love to introduce you to our current SCAMP team:
Karen Morley
Programme Manager
Karen has over 30 years’ experience in the environment sector working firstly as a landscape architect and latterly in countryside management, specialising in major project development. While working on the regional land use partnership, Karen realised how little we consider our impacts on our marine environment. The development of the SCAMP project has been an opportunity shine a spotlight on the region’s rich coastal and marine assets.
