We would like to thank the following organisations that are contributing to the success of National Whale & Dolphin Watch this year

ORCA – During National Whale and Dolphin Watch, ORCA also runs their OceanWatch project, which contributes data to the national recording event.  ORCA trains bridge crews, on ferry and cruise vessels, to record their sightings and ORCA’s Marine Mammal Surveyor teams and Wildlife Officers and Cruise Conservationists are out in force across the ferry and cruise network.  In 2019, ORCA has survey teams out on the majority of the UK’s ferry routes, plus cruises heading up to Iceland from the UK.  ORCA hopes to contribute hundreds of hours of effort data, and hopefully many sightings to the National Whale and Dolphin Watch this year to raise awareness of the incredible wildlife on our doorstep.
