I am a qualified veterinarian with a passion for conservation and research, especially related to marine animals (mammals and seabirds) and the environment in which they find themselves. I have spent 2 overwintering expeditions on Marion Island as part of the M71 (2014-2015) and M75 (2018 -2019) teams, working as a sealer for the Marion Island Marine Mammal Programme (University of Pretoria). I am currently busy with an MSc in Zoology and had the privilege of visiting Marion Island again for the relief periods in 2016 and 2017, as well as Gough Island in 2016 for my research project. I hope to play an active role in research and conservation aspects within the marine sphere, particularly related to Marion Island. View all posts by Liezl E. Pretorius
