How you can get involved

Report sightings
Orca Sea Safaris report our sightings to Seaquest South West which is run by Cornwall and Devon Wildlife Trusts, who gather information necessary for conservation and to raise awareness about the needs and lives of these incredible animals.

Take photos of sightings
Photographs can be very important for identifying individual cetaceans or basking sharks, which allows patterns to be built up of their movements. There are a number of projects involved in identifying animals through photo ID
