For personal interest, he is also investigating the socio-economic, environmental, and political significance of guano islands around the world; the cultivation, harvesting, and utilisation of seaweed resources; niche marketing by small island food and drink producers; the postal history of the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha; and last, but not least, the numerous activities of Scottish island community development companies and impact\/significance of Scottish National Islands Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
