Talks & Display

Presentations

Paul gives illustrated presentations on British marine life to a wide variety of groups including university undergraduates, school children, conservation groups and diving clubs.

He has also particularly enjoyed making key-note presentations at Regional conservation and education conferences.

Presentations can be adapted to suit your exact requirements and be of any length.  For many groups, no fee is charged apart from expenses actually incurred.

…thank you for your wonderfully inspiring talk that kept everyone transfixed, and played a big part in making the day so enjoyable for everyone.

Wildlife Trust, after key-note talk

Just wanted to drop you a quick mail to say thanks again for coming up to Liverpool and giving such a great speech.  I have had loads of very positive feedback about it, and can add my own appreciation and positive feedback too.  Thanks again!

Government organisation, after talk at conference

Thank you again so much for coming today and delivering an excellent presentation.  I honestly thought the pitch, levels, detail and science was just right, and can’t think how to change it for the better – it was great!!

…what a good evening it was – thank you so much for another great talk.  One member of the audience said it was the best talk he had been to.  Sea hares and sneakers were certainly a topic of conversation in the pub afterwards!  There were many new faces in the audience who will now, I am sure, appreciate the wonderful creatures and habitats we have on our doorstep, and the need to protect them.

Marine Conservation Group, after evening talk

Your knowledge of your subjects was both deep and enthusiastic, this enthusiasm ensured your presentation was both interesting and infectious and ensured everyone was entertained as well as informed.

What a fantastic evening you gave us last night! …info and tips you gave us about the technicalities of the photography were very helpful.  But it’s the stories of the animals themselves, as I think you know, which are so engaging, from limpets through cuttlefish to all the different blennies.  The seas and seashores will never be quite the same again for any of us, I’m sure!  Thank you so much!

Camera Clubs, after evening talks

Great to see so many at the club yesterday for Paul Naylor’s wonderful presentation about some of the characters that live in our local waters.

Curved Pop-up Display Stand

This stunning 2.9 metres x 2.2 metres curved pop-up display is ideal for promoting and raising awareness of British marine life.  With photographs of 80 different species in a panoramic montage, it can be used as a stand-alone display or as a backdrop for a specific conservation or educational campaign.

The display, produced with sponsorship from the National Marine Aquarium, can be borrowed by any organisation involved in marine life conservation, and we only charge for incurred carriage costs.  The current version is for use indoors or in a good waterproof marquee; we hope to develop an outdoor version in the future.

The display folds away into a container that will fit in the boot of a medium-sized hatchback car (e.g. Focus).  Container dimensions 99.5 x 59 x 40 cm, total weight 32 kg.  Volume 8.2 cubic feet (units often used by couriers for pricing).

Within the display container, there are 2 spotlights that enhance the vibrant colours and, also, instructions for display assembly.  The instructions are straightforward, but we do ask that users follow them closely so the display can last for a long time to come.
