Conservation charity Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust is recruiting volunteers from across the UK to join our 2015 marine research expeditions on board our specialised yacht Silurian – previously used in the filming of the BBC’s The Blue Planet.
Volunteers will work alongside marine scientists in the only scheme of its type in the country – developing skills, conducting pioneering citizen science and exploring Britain’s wild and remote corners.
Such surveys have discovered that Hebridean waters are home to the UK’s smallest known resident population of bottlenose dolphins and only known resident group of killer whales.
This research off western Scotland is an excellent opportunity to help secure the future of our whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking sharks.
