OUR AIM WAS TO INITIATE SOME KIND OF ONGOING SCOUTING BASED RESEARCH PROJECT TO CONTINUE MARR’S LEGACY AND HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF KRILL TO THE ANTARCTIC FOOD CHAIN AND ECOSYSTEM. PLUS GROWING A FUND TO ASSIST SCOUTS TO VISIT ANTARCTICA IN THE FUTURE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES.

AS A JOINT TEAM PROJECT IT IS ALSO PROPOSED THAT WE FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SCOUT MARR WHO LATER WENT ON TO PRODUCE “THE NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY OF THE ANTARCTIC KRILL (1962)” DISCOVERY REPORT – CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS.
