Help us explore the rockpools and tidelines of New Quay's dog-friendly beach and lets see what interesting animals, seaweeds and objects we can find!
Please meet us at the Dolphin Hub in the carpark above Dolau Beach, or come and find us on the beach itself for some low tide exploration of the pools. We will be on the beach between 3 and 5 pm, so look out for Percy, our life-sized Harbour Porpoise model who is made of upcycled marine rubbish. He will mark the meeting point for our salty adventures…
If you can't make it on Tuesday, we will be running a second rockpool safari on Thursday 29th!
Please see the upcoming events or visit https://www.seawatchfoundation.org.uk/nwdw-2021-on-site-and-online-events/ for an overview of all the NWDW education and outreach events happening in New Quay and Online.

Getting ready for your watches for National Whale and Dolphin Watch this year? Need a reminder of species or how to record effort? Our Sightings Officer, Claudia will be running through all you need to know for submitting your sightings and data this year. Hope to see you there! Register for this FREE webinar here.
A staggering 30 species of whale and dolphin have been recorded in our waters, more than a quarter of the entire British mammal fauna but despite this there is little awareness in the UK of the tremendous diversity of whales, dolphins and porpoises to be found around our shores. The aim of Sea Watch's National Whale and Dolphin Watch is to give a general “snapshot” of what can be seen in UK coastal waters over a short period of time. The beauty of this citizen science event is that anyone who is in the UK during this time can be involved! So, whether you are planning a trip to the coast, travelling on a ferry in UK waters, sailing for fun, or just near the coast – you will have the perfect opportunity to take part! We are looking for people to conduct organised watches or events all around the coast but incidental sightings are also always welcome! For more information, visit our National Whale and Dolphin Watch page: https://www.seawatchfoundation.org.uk/nwdw/
