The Board
Who We Are
Sally Walsh, Chair
I live locally having made a move back to Scotland in 2021 and am committed to supporting the Berwickshire Marine Reserve as we continue to excite and educate the community about this amazing place.
Caroline Lathe
I am a science teacher at the local high school and I have always been interested in Marine Biology.
I worked for a couple of years as the Marine Education Officer for the Hebridean Islands which gave me the chance to be involved in the research being done by HWDC. This also allowed me to observe plenty of cetaceans and other marine life as well as finding out more about local commercial activities such as salmon farming.
Andy Colls,Treasurer
I became a Trustee and treasurer of the Berwickshire Marine Reserve in 2017. I am passionate about the environment and have been an avid scuba diver since 1987 regularly diving the Scottish Borders area.
Gill Locke
I lived on, or near, Hayling Island since I was a child, so I've been coastal all of my life. I moved to Eyemouth with my wife in 2022 having come here on holiday and finding our dream home overlooking the sea.
I'm a registered nurse and currently work for hospice care North Northumberland as the dementia team lead. I have also demonstrated and sold Vorwerk vacuum cleaners. That was fun, and where I learnt to play table tennis.
I started volunteering with the BMR in 2023. It's a unique organisation, and is fulfilling everything that I love about the sea and coastline. It's a privilege to live in such a beautiful part of the country.

Sarah Campbell, Secretary
I moved to Coldingham Moor with my husband in October 2022 and have been volunteering
with the Berwickshire Marine Reserve since December. I have taken part in a variety of
activities including beach cleaning, intertidal surveys and science experiments with local
schoolchildren, and have become increasingly aware of the role that the BMR plays in the
protection and promotion of this unique coastal area.
