And just like that 9 trips, 8 skippers, 5 first mates, 48 #citizenscientists, 9 species of #marinemammals 🦭🐬🐋, 1 boat and a whole lot of data🙌👩💻 It’s been an EPIC season leading the visual 👀 & #acoustic 🔈data collection onboard Silurian for @HWDT_org ⛵️
Are you an undergraduate looking for paid research experience this summer??😎

@Dolphinchaz @HannahLightley Amazing efforts from all on board, fuelled by your neverending energy and positive vibes Hannah! You've been absolutely amazing this field season, THANK YOU for all your hard work 🫶
@Dolphinchaz @HWDT_org We’ve actually managed a few sightings today!! Common dolphins and harbour porpoise🤩 We have a determined group onboard this trip!
It’s my final ‘summer’ survey of the season with @HWDT_org ⛵️ It’s been a wet + wild trip so far attempting to dodge Storm Agnes 🌊 Today we’re heading out in sea state 5/6 to continue data collection with an INCREDIBLE team of #citizenscientists 💪🐬
@GillBraulik@HWDT_org We ended up coming off visual effort and dropped to acoustic only! Vols were super keen to be outside collecting data as we had been stormbound yesterday, ‘sightability’ was poor but could still be on the mast safely (just getting very wet) as swell was less than 0.5m 🌊
We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.

Delighted to be guiding for @Hebridescruises for the next two weeks🙌 I’ll be exploring the Outer Hebrides with guests onboard Elizabeth G, an old North Sea rescue vessel🛟 I’m far too excited about the prospect of large whales, basking sharks and epic remote islands🤩🐋🦈
Setting off to Lewis in NW Scotland with my CSIP colleague @simon11235 to help support our friends at @strandings with their investigation of the largest #pilotwhale mass stranding in recent UK history. Some long days ahead but hoping #teamwork will help us learn more!
@_lrendell@HWDT_org@NikkiNelipot Thanks so much Luke!! Hope you had a great birthday at sea, I’m sure you’ll be back onboard skippering in the future⛵️🐬
Another fantastic trip as Science Officer for @HWDT_org ⛵️White-beaked dolphins were a particular highlight 🐬 A huge big thanks to the fantastic crew @_lrendell @BruceSCrawford @NikkiNelipot ‼️ Lots of a laughs, important data collected and one big birthday🎂
⛵Across five days, our research vessel Silurian surveyed 205 miles of Hebridean waters🐬Encountering 5 marine mammal species across 40 sightings, citizen scientists onboard collected 33.5 hours of 🎧acoustic and 👀visual data!
