The Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust (HWDT) is a leading marine conservation charity dedicated to the research and protection of whales, dolphins, and porpoises (cetaceans) in the waters of western Scotland. Founded in 1994 and based on the Isle of Mull, HWDT plays a crucial role in advancing the understanding of these magnificent creatures and the threats they face in the Hebrides. Their work is built on robust science, inspirational education, and meaningful community engagement, driving effective conservation efforts.

HWDT’s activities are diverse and impactful. They conduct large-scale, long-term research using their specialist research vessel, Silurian, collecting vital data on cetacean trends and behaviours. This information is then used to inform marine protection policies, contributing to the establishment of Marine Protected Areas. Beyond scientific research, HWDT champions citizen science through initiatives like the Whale Track app, encouraging the public to report sightings and contribute directly to conservation. Their educational programmes reach thousands of people each year through their Hebridean Whale Centre in Tobermory, aboard Silurian (the Floating Classroom), and by visiting remote island schools and communities.

The Trust is deeply committed to fostering stewardship of Scotland’s rich marine environment. They offer various ways for the public to get involved, including guided walks, wildlife watching advice, and educational events. By combining cutting-edge research with extensive public outreach, the Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust works to ensure that the whales, dolphins, and porpoises of the Hebrides are protected and valued for generations to come, creating a healthier marine ecosystem for all.
