Stay tuned as we jump to 2016! We will share our 2016 highlights reel later today...

Yesterday, with the help of the amazing , we dropped a couple of creel pots in the bay. Today, we got to take our tiny catch up to Tobermory ELC! 🐟🐚⭐️ The children loved seeing and holding the live animals, and exploring the objects you might find in the strandline. Thanks for having us! 😁

Yesterday was World Jellyfish Day, so we thought we would share our ID guides for the most common jellies found in the waters around Mull.

Did you know that a group of jellyfish can be called a bloom, a swarm, or a smack? The presence of jellyfish helps maintain our healthy marine ecosystems by preventing algal blooms, competing with fish species for food sources, and providing a source of food for some larger carnivores!

Have you ever enjoyed a wild, foraged snack? Some foods are tastier than others, its always best to check what your eating though. We love the book 'Edible Seashore: River Cottage Handbook No.5' by John Wright.

Happy World Octopus Day 🐙❤🐙
The team at Mull Aquarium LOVE Cephalopods, especially Octopus! Did you know they are Molluscs, which means they are in the same family as your common garden snails. Despite that classification, they are highly intelligent animals that have fascinating lives.

Today we are celebrating World Vegetarian Day.
To be a herbivore in the ocean is quite unusual, with a few well known creatures living in warmer waters; Green sea Turtles and Dugongs. Check out a couple of Mull Aquarium's favourites.
