Join artist Jennifer Argo and marine biologists on a wildlife tour to explore connections that bridge marine wildlife between Scotland and the Arctic Ocean, as part of Orca Watch and Mapping Ocean Change through Art in partnership with Sea Watch Foundation and Lyth Arts Centre, one of the Creative Carbon Scotland - Climate Beacons.

We will map food chain connections and migration routes between marine life species from the north coast up to the Arctic Ocean, from the smallest organisms, up to megafauna, and discuss climate-driven impacts to local and international marine ecosystems.

We will meet at LAC at 10am, before taking a 20 minute coach ride to John O’Groats to join a wildlife cruise as part of Orca Watch, with discussion facilitated by artist Jennifer Argo, marine biologists from Strathclyde University and part of the Sea Watch team, as part of Mapping Ocean Change through Art.

We will then get the coach back to Lyth Arts Centre for 1pm - where there will be a workshop that you can also register for via the link, here.

What you’ll need:

• A packed lunch, water and snacks.

• Please wear all-weather outdoors clothing and footwear, and bring a spare pair of clothes incase you get wet.

Ages: The workshop is suitable for all ages, though children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Where to meet: Lyth Arts Centre, Lyth, Wick, Scotland, KW1 4UD
