Mike has a background in catchment nutrient dynamics, catchment hydrological conductivity as well as expertise in bioremediation systems including constructed wetlands. Prior to working for SCRT, Mike worked closely with Natural Resources Wales during his PhD working on projects to looking at ecologically sensitive RAMSAR sites and the effects of nutrient pollutants. This development of knowledge and skills linked directly to the work carried out as part of the Freshwater Pearl Mussel Project and the NLHF Conserving Coniston & Crake Project, of which Mike was lead project officer. Mike West joined the team in April 2015 and is now our Projects and Technical Manager.
