The new initiative – a partnership between the RSPB and ‘Shorewatch’ founders, Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), will see 28 trained volunteers carry out structured ‘watches’ for Minke Whales, dolphins, Grey and Harbour Seals as well as Harbour Porpoises as part of a national effort to monitor and protect these marine mammals.

Whale and Dolphin Conservation is the leading global charity dedicated to the protection of whales and dolphins.

While seabirds have long been the stars of Bempton Cliffs – with over half a million nesting here each year – ‘Shorewatch’ focuses on what lies beyond the cliffs. Cetacean sightings in the North Sea and the data gathered will help conservationists understand more about the species that live in and pass through these waters.
