We’re thrilled to announce that Dr Kevin Robinson, director and lead researcher of CRRU, has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for his services to the protection of UK whales, dolphins, and porpoises as part of the King's New Year Honours List 2026.
On receiving the award:
I am both humbled and very honoured to receive the news of this award, but the award is testament to the hard work and contribution of so many individuals that have made the recognition of CRRU's long-term conservation work in northeast Scotland possible.
A big congratulations to Kevin from everyone at CRRU and a heartfelt THANK YOU for all that you’ve done over the past 30 years, and for all the years ahead! ❤️
