More species champion work yesterday! Great to see so many motivated new future ambassadors starting out and thinking about how their species fit into the wider eco system.

 Massive thanks to everyone who has supported USS to build our amazing collection of books, resources and contacts that makes this work so fun, constructive and positive for the kids.

A last wee selection of pics from an absolutely fantastic weekend away for the Blue Starfish! A brilliant adventure with loads of learning and some great ideas brewing for our work in future.... Thanks to Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust for being such amazing hosts and to Sea-Changers and The National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland for making it possible.

Whilst the team are away at Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, nice weather at home gave us the opportunity to pop out with Sea Saver Alanna and show her dad and sister what we do. We lifted a creel and saw crabs, a small lobster, a wrasse and a beautiful squat lobster. Alanna showed them how she is learning to drive the boat and even helped give her wee sister an introduction to how to be a skipper like their grandfather was. Maybe even better than he was!
