Milan Vansteelandt

Milan is one of our naturalists that joined the Elding team in the spring season of 2024. He has MSc in general biology with a focus on ecology and ecosystem functioning, as well as sustainability and bio-inspired innovation from Ghent, Belgium. He wrote  a thesis on the impact of off-shore windfarms on marine life in the North Sea and also did an internship on monitoring the otter population in Trondheim, Norway. 

Life at Elding has been incredible so far. Working as a naturalist at Elding makes it possible to spend so much time out at sea with the wildlife here. Seeing a beautiful fluke-dive or breach from close-by will never not be exciting! Giving people an unforgettable experience while being able to use the platform as a naturalist to teach people more about the cetaceans and the importance of nature conservation is what makes this job all-round perfect 

Milan's nationality is Belgian had he speaks fluent Dutch and English, as well as conversational French.
