Sea Science with RV COAST Explorer

The team at COAST have a series of Sea Science trips on the new RV Explorer planned for July and August. See below for  more details and for the link to book your space:

Come on board our brand-new research vessel and become a citizen scientist as you learn about the seas around Arran and the creatures that call it home. Join COAST scientists in researching the ocean and see the positive benefits of a marine protected area.

Activities include:
• Plankton Sampling & Larvae Identification
• Cetacean Surveys using the Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust Whale Track app
• Habitat Mapping & Marine Life Observation using a drop-down camera
• Water Clarity tests using a secchi disk

Passengers will engage in real-world science and contribute to vital marine conservation around Arran. This immersive experience will be a unique opportunity to help collect data for COAST’s ongoing marine restoration and monitoring programme, learn about Arran’s marine life and protected waters, and make a valuable contribution to our research.
