Whale Track: Learning from your sightings
Online via Zoom
Wednesday 26th June, 7pm - 8pm
Hosted by Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust
Whale Track is a community of citizen scientists recording cetacean sightings, but what is done with this data and how can you get involved?
Citizen science is at the heart of what we do here at the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust. Our Whale Track community records whale and dolphin sightings across Scotland, helping to better our understanding of our seas and advocate for their protection.
But what can we learn from your sightings? What have your sightings revealed about our seas? And how has HWDT used this data for conservation? This talk aims to address these questions, and more!
