DESCRIPTION
Join us on board our research yacht, Silurian, as we depart from Tobermory (on the Isle of Mull) to monitor the rich Hebridean seas.
Teen Research Expeditions provide a fantastic experience for younger environmentalists (aged 16 or 17), with participants gaining the fundamental skills required to build a career in marine conservation. The protocol during the Teen Research Expeditions is exactly the same as the standard Research Expeditions, however, there will be more staff provision to offer additional insight and support.
This expedition falls in the middle of our field season so we will be monitoring for both resident populations alongside seasonal visitors.
With rendezvous in Tobermory, this survey will allow for the exploration of seas around the Southern Hebrides (Islay, Jura, Colonsay, Gigha) alongside the Argyll Islands (Mull, Coll and Tiree) and the Small Isles (Muck, Eigg, Canna and Rum).
Summer in the Hebrides is an awe inspiring time. The daylight hours are long and nature takes full advantage of this with creatures foraging to feed their young and lay down fat stores for the winter months ahead.
COST: £775 deposit (50% of the total cost) is required to secure your berth on board, with the remaining payment invoiced 100 days before the start of the expedition. The total cost of participating is £1,550 per person - this includes all food, accommodation (on board) and specialised equipment for the duration of the expedition but excludes transport costs to and from rendezvous.
