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!

Small Isles Primary School students boarded Silurian today for two marine education workshops in Jura. The older students had time to write some comments:
The best thing was the starfish. Nicky
Today we acted out different types of things that could happen on the boat. Domonic
I enjoyed feeling the crabs. Ryan
I think the best bit was holding the prawns. Melissa
One thing I found interesting was the spider crab. It was like a sponge and the starfish. Katie
I enjoyed play acting and the prawns. Gavin the grey whale
One thing I found interesting was that the sea urchin was moving and that when you put your shadow over it, it will know you are there. It has no eyes. Harriet
I thought the two best bits were acting and the starfish and the rest of it. Mirren
