From humpbacks to home baking, our young carers experienced it all! For the first time in a number of years, we invited young carers on board
to enjoy this hands-on experience, gain new skills and help deepen the
understanding of marine mammal species.

Changing the tide: how you help protect Scotland’s marine wildlife Our expedition surveys on board our research vessel, Silurian, have been
monitoring Scotland’s seas for over two decades. This long-term monitoring
is critical, driving protections to restore marine biodiversity and
championing healthy seas for nature and communities.

Who manages Scotland's seas Scotland’s seas are internationally important, with 24 species of whale,
dolphin, and porpoise (collectively known as cetaceans) recorded in our
waters. But who are the organisations responsible for managing Scotland’s
seas, and how do they ensure that the marine environment is protected for
nature and people?

From porpoises to pizza parties, sea eagles to seals; our Young Ambassadors had a trip to remember! This Autumn, we piloted a new opportunity - inviting young ambassadors from
RSPB Youth Council, Marine Conservation Society and Young Sea Changers
Scotland to join us aboard, learn about the role HWDT plays in marine
conservation, connect and share an inspiring experience exploring Hebridean
waters.

Winter circumnavigation around Mull We recently welcomed six local Mull and Ardnamurchan residents aboard
Silurian for a winter research expedition. Our aim was to collect
much-needed data at a time of year when historically, far lower survey
effort has been carried out than the summer season.
