From wandering whales, to sea-spanning sharks, soaring seabirds and migrating molluscs – our precious seas are full of incredible journeys. This year we’re celebrating some of the most special journeys during National Marine Week.
As tide times vary around our coasts, National Marine Week is 15 days long to make sure everyone can take advantage of the best tides and experience marine life at Wildlife Trust events.
Wildlife Trusts around our coasts will be running events, from whale and dolphin watching to rockpooling. Explore our marine wildlife, big and small, with your Wildlife Trust.
In Dorset, on Monday 27th July, you can take part in the National Whale and Dolphin Watch at Durlston: see Dorset Wildlife Trust for information.
