The shock to UK marine science due to the Covid-19 pandemic has been stark, with significant disruption to sea-going research across all disciplines and sectors. Representatives of the marine science community, led by Cabot Institute researcher Kate Hendry and supported by the National Oceanographic Centre Association of Marine Science National Capability Beneficiaries, initiated a survey of the UK marine science community in October 2020 to assess the impact of Covid -19.

The results from 193 responses lead to recommendations for science leaders, particularly with respect to Early Career Researchers and staff on fixed term appointments, which may help to enhance the working environment for scientists in a post-pandemic world. Read the Summary and Full Report here.
