The Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust carries out visual and acoustic
cetacean
surveys every summer from our research vessel, Silurian.

Our research investigates cetacean distribution, relative abundance and
habitat preferences using observers, acoustic monitoring and photo
identification.

Volunteers are involved in all aspects of the research, and will receive
full
training in survey techniques. As our survey vessel is a sailing boat, there
is also the opportunity to learn sailing skills.

No specific experience is required to work as a volunteer onboard. However
you
should have basic computing skills and be proficient in the English
language.

Prices and dates for 2007 surveys are as follows:

• April 5th – 13th (8 nights on board)Spring Price - only £400
• July 11th – 19th (8 nights on board) £695
• July 20th – 31st (11 nights on board) £795
• August 1st – 12th (11 nights on board) £795
• September 4th – 12th (8 nights on board) £695
• September 23rd – October 4th (11 nights on board) £795

Prices cover all expenses during the project incl. all food, 11 (or 8)
nights
accommodation on board our fully equipped 60ft sailing vessel, and all
scientific and yachting training.
