despite the numbers of cetaceans, things like dolphins, whales and porpoises, there have never been any studies of them here on the sussex coast. so the project are calling for citizen science, that is normal people, volunteers make reports when they see them. at the moment, it is people who walk along the beach, but the majority of their data comes from people who are regularly out on boats. this company takes charters from the project for marine wildlife tours. but the crew are also some of their most prolific spotters. i would like to consider myself someone who likes to help good causes. when i came across the volunteers from the sussex dolphin project, it became apparent they were highly motivated, underfunded individuals. all with a common aim of trying to protect what s out there in the seas. from a personal point of view, a huge fan of that. from a commercial point of view, the more sightings we have, the more people will want to come on the tours as well. people have reported
Researchers digging in Peru s Ocucaje desert have uncovered the skull of an enormous marine predator thought to be the ancestor of modern whales and dolphins.
