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!

Tayvallich Primary School boarded Silurian today to learn about the work of HWDT and local marine life. Here are some of their comments:
One of the best bits was seeing all of the sea creatures, and especially I liked the starfish. It was really good being able to poke about the boat and playing the finding game! I had a great day. Thanks, Rosie I enjoyed it when I saw the dogfish. Josh Today I thought the best bit was when we had a bit of paper and we had to find the things listed on the boat. I also enjoyed the part where there were different animals in buckets and we had to identify them. Mia, aged 9 I enjoyed seeing the dogfish because it looked like a shark and it had 3 rows of teeth! I also looked the pipefish because it kept coming to the surface to see us. Freya I thought the best bit of my day was when we got to learn about all the sea creatures and got to pick them up. I really liked the dogfish because i liked the way it swims around and shows off to you. Signe, aged 9 When you get to feel the animals in the tubs it is really cool, but so was the game, because they were both extremely fun. Megan # posted by HWDT @ 9:18 AM
