Orca Watch 2022 ran from 28th May to 5th June.
2022 saw Orca Watch return to John O’Groats, after the cancellation of the event in 2020 due to Covid-19, and a largely online event in 2021.
You can read more about Orca Watch 2022 here, and check out the (unverified) sightings here. And you can also catch up with our evening roundups and our initial Evening of Talks (including a discussion about recent orca sightings in the area, and a catch up with Dr Chloe Robinson, former Sea Watch alumni now working with orca and cetacean conservation in waters around Vancouver) by going to the Sea Watch Foundation YouTube channel and looking for the Orca Watch 2022 playlist, or by clicking this link.
In the playlist, or by clicking this link, you’ll also find a recording of the final round-up show from 26th June, hosted by Sea Watch Ambassador, Robin Petch. In this programme we looked back at Orca Watch 2022, including a preliminary look at the data gathered.
