However, due to Covid-19, we are going online.During the week – 29th May to 6th June – a small pool of local, experienced volunteers will be looking out for whales, dolphins and porpoise in the area, including killer whale. Each evening, from 31st May, we will be online, live, to share what has been seen and continue the conversation about all things orca.This project is supported by NatureScot, through the PlungeIn! The Coasts and Waters Community Fund.About Sea Watch FoundationSea Watch Foundation is a national charity working to improve the conservation and protection of whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans) in British and Irish waters. This is achieved by partnering our experts with volunteer citizen scientists to contribute sightings to Europe’s biggest cetacean database. Orca Watch 2021, and our National Whale and Dolphin Watch in July/August, are key events to collect additional sightings, involve more people and raise much needed funding.To support our vital work, please consider becoming a member from only £3.50/mth at https://members.seawatchfoundation.org.uk or by donating to our PayPal Giving Fund at www.paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/charity/49262
