Cetacean & Seabird Identification Workshops
Biscay Dolphin Research Programme is delighted to announce
the launch of 3 Cetacean & Seabird Identification Workshops on the P&O
cruiseferry ‘Pride of Bilbao’.
Biscay Dolphin Research Programme (BDRP)
has been conducting whale, dolphin and seabird surveys of the English Channel
and Bay of Biscay each month, year-round continuously since 1995. BDRP is
an award-winning project within the newly established charity Marinelife that
aims to further the conservation of whales, dolphins, seabirds and other marine
life through scientific study and educational activities.
Because of the
work we have undertaken, the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay is now
recognised as one of the most important areas in the world for whales and
dolphins!
Come and join some of the most experienced cetacean and seabird
researchers in the UK for a fully interactive workshop where you will learn all
the basic skills needed to observe and identify these fantastic animals at sea.
This workshop is ideal for anyone with a general interest in
marine wildlife, students studying Marine Biology or similar subjects, people
who want some firsthand experience of field work as well any prospective Marine
Mammal Observers (MMO’s).

Cost is £135 per
person based on two people sharing a 2 bunk inside cabin.
