This summer alone we have had records of porpoises, dolphins, pilot whales, Minke whales, Sei whales, basking sharks, sunfish, leatherback turtles and even killer whales around our coasts.

“We are now calling on everyone who spends time in, on, or under the sea to come along and pick up some top tips on how to spot these beautiful creatures, as well as learn how to become a responsible wildlife watcher.”
