Article says that Gurney was "among the founders of the Freshwater Biological Association, which set up the field station at Far Sawrey on Windermere" but I'm struggling to find evidence for this. I can find him listed as Director of a lab in Norfolk (e.g. Le Cren) but not the FBA. If there is evidence he was involved, he would have been based at Wray Castle, where the association was initially established, not Far Sawrey.
