Our grateful thanks go to Bronwyn Lee (KES 10-17) who came into KES recently to talk to students in the Sixth Form about her work with OSRL. OSRL is the largest international industry-funded cooperative which exists to respond to oil spills wherever in the world they may occur, by providing preparedness, response and intervention services.  

Explaining firstly about the organisation itself and its global footprint, Bronwyn then went on to talk about the specialist equipment that they use in their work and the different tools or techniques that can be used to tackle oil spills. She also gave some interesting examples of spills to which OSRL have responded including in Tobago in 2024, and another interesting spill of plastic nurdles in Sri Lanka in 2021!  With so many of our young people interested in careers that can really make a difference to saving our planet, hearing about Bronwyn's career path was really useful for the students.
