| WELCOME TO ORCA… the whale and dolphin
conservation charity that is all about people power! Founded in 2000, our volunteer observers have logged more than 35,000
animals to date, surveying over 45,000 kilometres of the seas around Europe. YOU can help us make a real difference in our
efforts to understand and protect whales, dolphins, porpoises and the marine environment, by helping us in carrying out
scientific surveys, and raising public awareness through the results of our research. There are lots of ways in which you can
get involved - our projects are reliant on your involvement and support. |
