Call for Support: Christmas Challenge – 2nd to 9th December

Double your impact by donating in December!

We are raising funds for a public education programme to raise much-needed awareness and understanding of marine mammals by:

• Significantly boosting engagement with our open-source online map viewer.
• Massively increasing downloads of the Sea Watcher app and submission of data to our database and map viewer through this.
• Installing educational panels at whale and dolphin watching hotspots around the Anglesey coast.

We have the chance to double every donation made by the public from the 2^nd to the 9^th of December through the Big Give Foundation’s Christmas Appeal.

Visit our campaign page to find out more: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS000006mWYQYA2

We want to reach out to as many people as possible with live sightings that they could see from the coasts. This will encourage more members of the public to become citizen scientists and contribute to our ever-growing database of sightings, thus contributing directly to our knowledge and helping us provide the necessary evidence-based advice for their protection and conservation.
