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.

If you are shpping in Ullapool Tesco, please remember to get your blue token and maybe #Vote4TheBoat - Kirsty and Sophe say, because it's the best boat! All funding really helps us do trips and education for all. ullapoolseasavers.com/what-we-do/o...

A drone operator filmed as us a pod of dolphin came to say hello. When this happen, stay at a slow speed and consistent direction so as to minimise any chance of injuring these amazing animals. Rewarded great encounter. @naturescot.bsky.social @scotwildlife.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

We had Cal Major out on our boat on the weekend jelping survey dolphins in the loch off Ullapool, and got to watch them catching and passing seaweed between the pod as part of a social game. @whalesorg.bsky.social @hughharrop.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @ionamjmacdonald.bsky.social

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.

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

Part of what we do is take the sea saver kids out on our boat 'Mada-Chuain' (Gaelic for 'Ocean-Wolf' which was the name for Orca here). As well as surveying and learning boat handling skills, we have 4 research creels - the traps used to catch prawn, crab and lobster.

This is the Ullapool Sea Savers. They do fantastic work caring for and raising awareness of the local maritime environment. They also love hedgehogs! (And other wildlife) Well worth a follow.
