Inverie Primary School students joined us alongside for two workshops between 9:00 and 12:30. The youngest students (aged 4) were delighted to have the chance to come onboard astern from the RIB. Again they were too busy learning about the dogfish, crabs, lobster and flat fish to write ideas for the blog.

We then headed to Mallaig at lunchtime to meet the S3 High School students in the afternoon. Here are some of their comments:
I enjoyed hearing sounds through the hydrophone and hearing about research methods.
Silurian sail trips seem like a great way to find out about, see and protect the marine life of the Hebrides. I’m definitely looking for a job. Kathryn

One thing I found interesting was how the hydrophone can pick up noises of the animals and other boats.

Today was fun and interesting. I learned that you could listen to things underwater using a special piece of equipment. I never knew this before.

I will remember the hydrophone and the knives and forks.
It was a great experience. I learnt a lot today and the people make it more enjoyable. Learning about dolphins and the boat was good fun.

I enjoyed it because we learned a lot and it was interesting and we did not have to stand in the rain for very long. Amy
