Photos from Brad Robson
Brad Robson arrived on Tristan in mid-December 2008. His work on Tristan is part of the European Commission's EDF-9 funded South Atlantic Invasive Species Project, and he is one of four project officers based in the South Atlantic. His focus is on the delivery of the Invasive Species Action Plan, developed by the Tristan Conservation Committee in May 2007 and working with Trevor Glass, the Conservation Officer.

December 2008 saw the arrival of the conservation RIB, generously provided by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which has greatly enhanced the team's operating capabilities away from the settlement and especially on Nightingale and Inaccessible.

The photograph right shows the ceremony to celebrate the RIB's arrival.
