Our species champion sessions allow the kids to explore our library to find a species to help promote & protect & if the compile a fact file to share with others they become that species's ambassador. Thanks to everyone who helps with this & has donated books & support.

A couple of trips in our Pioner Multi 'Mada-Chuain' (Gaelic for 'Ocean Wolf', which was what they called Orca!) yesterday to lift 2 creels. Crab, lobster, Scorpion Fish & a prawn. Lighter evenings allowing us to do more! @youth4seas.bsky.social @arrancoast.bsky.social @mcsuk.bsky.social

Alisha and Abbie are asking if you'll help us and #vote4theboat in the Tesco Ullapool blue token vote, as funds help us take people out who wouldn't normally get to see the sea.

Emptied our beach clean station at Dun Canna today, bringing in 80 kg more marine litter. By allowing visitors at the site to do small beach cleans that we empty when full, we are keeping on top of this remote beautiful beach. Thanks to all that help.

Short beaked common dolphin being sociable at the bow of our small boat in November. Some of this pod have been visiting for a long time & know / trust us & the boat. Always keep a slow consistent speed & direction - can result in perfect encounters like this. #WildFree @hughharrop.bsky.social

Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage) Denmark 2.4% Finland 3.2% Norway 3.6% Sweden 3.6% The UK 32.1% All four of those countries have child benefits, paid by taxing the rich, that make it almost impossible for a child to be in poverty.

Three years ago today, Freya the wandering #Walrus arrived here in #Shetland for a four week stay. 248 days later she was murdered by the Directorate of Fisheries in #Norway as she was perceived to be a "threat to human safety". Abhorrent and unforgivable on every level. #MarineLife #MarineMammals

After hearing of a flapper skate attacking a boat at Shetland, Scoraig Primary kids Brodi & Arhlo sent us pictures of one having a go at their boat whilst angling in Little Loch Broom. These are BIG amazing fish but is this normal behaviour? @ionamjmacdonald.bsky.social @hughharrop.bsky.social

Another super day with #Orcas - this time with the 65s pod off Muckle Roe, #Shetland. Adult bull 'Busta' was with them and as spectacular as ever. We first documented him in 2005 when he was a fully grown bull and we estimate him to be at least 40 years old. #MarineLife #MarineMammals #CetaceansUK

3 decades ago we identified Scallop Dredging around our island as very detrimental to the health of our seas. BUT to most folk it's "Out of Sight out of Mind" We used the visual image to educate our island community. Now half our island's seabeds out to 3 miles are protected, it was worth it.

White tailed sea eagles flying by us at sea, Loch Broom, off Ullapool, NW Highlands of Scotland. This is a site/location now used for over 14 years. Was 52nd confirmed breeding pair in Scotland in 2024.
