On board Silurian
Most weeks April through October she is either monitoring the waters of the west coast of Scotland for whales, dolphins, and porpoises, or serving as a floating classroom for one of the many Argyll island primary and secondary schools. Read the log below to find out what Silurian and her crew have been up to each week and all about the whales, dolphins and porpoises they spot!

Students from Iona Primary School spent the morning on Silurian exploring the boat, learning about HWDT’s research and investigating marine animals. They wrote:
Something I learnt today was velvet crabs have red eyes and that another name for them is devil crabs. Ben I enjoyed today because we got to listen to the sounds of animals and we got to touch and feel some of the animals like sea urchins, crabs, starfish and sea anemones. Rhona One thing I enjoyed today was looking at the scallop. The eyes were in its mouth. Xzava I liked the whale and dolphin boat because it was interesting and fun. We looked at crabs, lobster and starfish. Stephen I liked today because we got to hold all the crabs and scallop and I like going to school. Declan I enjoyed everything. Duncan the dolphin I enjoyed today because I had fun jingling forks and knives off the side of the boat and hearing it on the computers. Malcolm the minke whale Silurian Log Archives
