The Gathering of The Nessie Clan

Hundreds of volunteers are reported to be descending on Scotland's Loch Ness, to take part in a surface watch for its 'monster'. Others will be employing drones and acoustic equipment, in the biggest search for over 50 years (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/aug/21/loch-ness-monster-enthusiasts-gear-up-for-biggest-search-in-50-years). The earliest report of a strange water monster in Loch Ness, appeared in the sixth century AD. Claims about a mosasaur-like marine reptile have subsequently appeared sporadically. Loch Ness is big but it seems very unlikely (to put it mildly), that a unique giant marine reptile has survived, undetected in its waters, for all this time. A breeding colony seems even less likely. Perhaps the volunteers could direct their efforts to the myriad of environmental issues that are real and urgent?
