Dolphins have been sighted in Cardigan Bay. THE Sea Watch Foundation are seeking volunteers along Cardigan Bay to take part in the National Whale and Dolphin Watch this summer, which takes place from 24 July to 1 August. Last year’s event involved hundreds of volunteers from all around the British Isles, and enabled Sea Watch, a charity which has been running for over 30 years, to take direct action to protect species. Sea Watch’s sighting data of bottlenose dolphins has helped lead to two areas in Cardigan Bay being recommended as Special Areas of Conservation for the species. Since 2001, the organisation has monitored the semi-resident bottlenose dolphin population in Cardigan Bay, providing data for the Welsh and UK Governments through Natural Resources Wales.
