Hello and welcome to Buccaneer for Wildlife! A podcast where I talk to people across the Cornish County and beyond, all about Wildlife wonders, nature news and Conservation in Cornwall.
Hello listeners!
Welcome to Series 2, Episode 3 of Buccaneer for Wildlife Podcast!
For today’s episode i spoke to the beautiful Zeni Hayton, who wears many hats in the marine conservation world - She volunteers her time at Cornwall Wildlife Trust as Shoresearch Project Coordinator, rescues live-stranded animals with Marine Mammal Medic for British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), works with her local community as part of Newquay Marine Group and Ranger for Newquay Wild Adventures! We took a trip down Zeni’s personal conservation journey from growing up, university experiences and volunteering in the marine sector in Cornwall!
Moving forward with Buccaneer for Wildlife Podcast, as I venture into new chapters in my personal life I will be putting a pause on the show to focus on other projects. If you haven’t already, please do go back and explore other episodes i have done and i will return when the time is right to click that recording button again. Thank you so much to all those who have joined me on this journey and supported the show by listening in. I have had a lot of fun doing this passion project for the past year and a bit!
Until we meet again, Listeners!

Currently studying for her PhD, Emily is conducting a research project assessing the bacterial colonisation of various microplastics sourced from different environments to evaluate the potential spread of pathogenic species such as E.coli.
