DESCRIPTION
This Research 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), although the area covered is dependent on the weather conditions and survey coverage to date.
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: £930 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 £1,860 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.
DATES: Sunday 11 - Monday 19 August 2024
