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 SURVEY FOLLOWS ON FROM A SEPARATE SEA WATCH TRAINING SESSION from 10am-11.30am at Berrow Village Hall. Please book this session separately (see separate event) if you also wish to attend it (optional).

No previous knowledge or training is required as experts and ID guides will be available. A YouTube Somerset SeaWatch Training Video is available. It is useful (but not essential) to view this prior to attending your first survey.

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!).
