In Pictures: The Beluga Oceans Ship Tour, the Shiant Isles
After weeks touring around Scotland our scientific ship tour with the Beluga II comes to an end. These recent images taken when we visited the Shiant Isles in Scotland illustrate the breathtaking beauty and biodiversity that needs protecting from ocean plastics.
The Shiant Isles are home to a large number of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots and razorbills. All images were taken by Will Rose in June.
The Shiant Isles are also home to northern fulmars, shags, skuas, gulls and kittiwakes.
