Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust

Established in 1994, The Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust (HWDT) is the trusted voice and leading source of information for the conservation of Hebridean cetaceans.  A registered charity that has pioneered practical, locally-based education and scientifically rigorous long term monitoring programmes on cetaceans in the Hebrides.

Our primary goal is the long term conservation of Hebridean cetaceans; to be achieved through an integrated programme of scientific research, community education and stakeholder engagement.

HWDT offers various opportunities to get involved and contribute to our conservation efforts. You can join us aboard our research yacht for an unforgettable live-aboard experience; exploring the Hebridean wilderness while collecting valuable data on the species encountered. You can also support HWDT by becoming a member or sponsor. For more information please visit our website.
