Why report whale, dolphin and porpoise sightings to Dolphinspotter?

"Wally", the Northern Bottlenose Whale which died in the Thames has helped to show how little we know about the 25+ species found in UK waters. By reporting any sightings, you are helping to add information to the National Database held by the SeaWatch Foundation. This is used to focus research and conservation efforts in the areas where they are most often found. If you see anything, please let us know.
