The Hydrographic Society UK, which represents organisations and individuals of the domestic hydrographic profession and associated disciplines in addition to maintaining an extensive overseas membership in nearly 50 countries, has elected 15 inaugural Fellows in recognition of their outstanding individual contributions to the industry worldwide over many years.
