Conservation 'an important part of Biosphere project'

Exhibition marking 10 years of status now open

The chair of Biosphere Isle of Man says conservation is as important a part of the project's work as research.

Jason Bissell has been speaking following the opening of an exhibition celebrating 10 years since the Island became the world's first whole-nation UNESCO Biosphere.

Jeihosphere - a mix of jeih, the Manx word for 10, and biosphere - features 10 curated artefacts highlighting the work of the biosphere team since 2016.

Mr Bissell says what lies beneath the waves has featured heavily:

The exhibition is open at the Manx Museum until 28 February next year.
