Watch dolphins responsibly

"When you're out at sea it is the most wonderful experience to have whales or dolphins visit the boat. It's heart warming to see them out in the middle of nowhere, where mammals are few and far between. But you have an overwhelming feeling that you are visiting their world, and however precious those moments  with them are, their world is to be respected." Dame Ellen MacArthur

We all need to be aware of our marine wildlife and know how our actions may affect the animals and their habitats. Whether viewing from a boat or on land, we can minimise any disturbance that we cause and have the best possible encounter with our marine neighbours.

Responsible Wildlife Watching can:

• Help you to enjoy watching marine wildlife
• Improve your chance of seeing wildlife
• Help minimise disturbance to marine wildlife
• Help you to stay within the law

On these pages we aim to give you all the information you need for a fantastic whale and dolphin watching experience.
