Seaquest South-West

This recording project is run jointly by the Cornwall and Devon Wildlife Trusts. It is for people who are interested in the larger marine creatures such as dolphins, whales, seals, turtles and basking sharks.

Seaquest aims to gather information necessary for conservation and to raise awareness about the needs and lives of these incredible animals. As well as survey work, Seaquest is leading the way on education about marine life and relevant issues.

The group was launched in April 1998 and has already attracted well over three hundred members in Cornwall alone. It has received extensive media coverage since it started, with occurrences such as large gatherings of basking sharks also helping to raise public awareness. People always seem interested in the frequent strandings of dolphins in the area, which attract a lot of media interest too.

A special information pack is available to all new members of the group. There is no charge or membership fee but any contributions towards postage and photocopying are, of course, always welcome.
