Festive Sea Watching on Marine Drive (Scarborough)

Join the Sea Watch Foundation for a session of cetacean during the Festive Season!

Lead by Sea Watch Foundation volunteer Stuart Baines, join them for a Sea Watch during the festive season! Will Santa bring some sightings of Bottlenose dolphin or Harbour Porpoises? :dolphin: :christmas_tree:

You will learn how monitoring the numbers and locations of whales and dolphins can give valuable knowledge of the health of our marine environment. During the session you will watch out to sea from Marine Drive and record what cetaceans you can find. They cannot guarantee any cetacean sightings on the day, although there is often a variety of sea birds and other wildlife that offer some interest!

Location:

Marine Drive Scarborough YO11
