"As the archetypal amateur entomologist the FBA have been key to my quest for knowledge on this lifelong journey. An organisation of dedicated enthusiastic professional experts who are always willing to help in all aspects of freshwater ecology. In my own humble opinion one of the UK`s best kept secrets"
- Stuart M Crofts, FBA Member
