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!

Join us along with North Wales Rural Crimes Team and the RSPB to spread the word on Operation Seabird, an initiative designed to address wildlife disturbance on our coastlines. Come along to say hi and to learn all about the marine code and how to have memorable yet safe encounters with marine wildlife!
