We be back up at John O'Groats for Orca Watch. With the help of volunteers, we aim to collect as much data as possible on the whales, dolphins and porpoises in the waters around Caithness and North Sutherland, Orkney and Shetland, over a ten-day period. To find out more, look for Orca Watch under the Get Involved menu.

As a part of Welsh Nature Week we will be hosting a Guided Dolphin Spotting Coastal Walk and Landwatch leaving from our New Quay base, travelling up the coastal path where we will stop for an hour to keep our eyes on the sea! You will be able to learn all about our local wildlife, with a focus on the iconic Cardigan Bay bottlenose dolphins, from our team of marine scientists. Children are welcome as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Dogs are also permitted but we do recommend that you check if it is going to be too warm for them, please also ensure that all dogs are kept on a lead.

Each year we invite members of the public to take part in our annual citizen science event – National Whale and Dolphin Watch. Watches and surveys will be taking place across the country to create a ‘snapshot’ view of what can be seen in our UK coastal waters. The data collected during this event will enable us to develop an idea of the distribution of whales, dolphins and porpoises around the UK. This event is a great opportunity for everyone to become involved in the research which goes into understanding and protecting these magnificent creatures. Keep an eye out for events happening near you! Please note that these dates are provisional and may be subject to change.
