National Whale & Dolphin Watch 2024

Online Round Up

National Whale and Dolphin Watch 2024 has come to an end! Thank you to all of our supporters and those who conducted watches and submitted sightings to us throughout the week.

National Whale and Dolphin Watch is a week long citizen science event dedicated to studying and protecting cetaceans in UK waters.

By taking part in National Whale and Dolphin Watch, the data you submit plays a invaluable role in understanding cetacean distribution, abundance, and population trends, as well as increase public awareness about the incredible whales, dolphins and porpoises that inhabit our seas. All you need to do is turn your eyes to the sea to help out!
