About the event

One of a series of two hour surveys for porpoises, dolphins and other marine life being carried out along the Somerset and North Somerset Coast throughout the year. Run in conjunction with Somerset Wildlife Trust’s Somerset Wilder Coast Project, Geckoella and the Sea Watch Foundation.

This is the last survey of 2024 and we will be retiring to a local pub for a celebratory lunch after the survey (optional)

If you do not attend the training, no previous knowledge  is required to take part only in the survey as experts and ID guides will be available. A Somerset Sea Watch Training Video is available. It is useful (but not essential) to view this prior to attending your first survey.

Watch the video

Be Creative: We will also encourage you to use the opportunity, whilst sitting in this beautiful spot, to do some poetry, creative writing or even some sketching (entirely optional!).
