The Minister for Environment, Prof John Cortes, hosted a group of young volunteers from The Nautilus Project last week to catch up on the work they have been doing over the summer.

The Minister congratulated them, particularly on their removal of large amounts of invasive seaweed from the shoreline. The volunteers also spoke about their wider environmental work. As Minister for Education, Prof Cortes enquired about their educational journeys and wished them well for the future.

Minister for Environment and Education, the Hon Prof John Cortes, said:

“Quite apart from their environmental advocacy work, The Nautilus Project provides great opportunities to young people for volunteering, learning about the marine environment, and carrying out practical conservation projects. It was also inspirational to see the enthusiasm of these young people and their commitment to further improve themselves. I wish them every success, and I am sure that they will continue with their keen interest in the Environment.”
