This groups is for everybody who loves to go whale watching in the Bay of Biscay. Accessed by two ferries running from Portsmouth and Plymouth in the UK, to Bilbao and Santander in northern Spain, the deep waters of the Bay of Biscay make it one of the most outstanding whale watching destinations in the world.
So sign up as a fan of the Bay of Biscay for news on trips, sightings, events and so much more!
UKCetnet (short for U.K. cetacean network) provides network members with the latest whale and dolphin (cetacean) sightings from around the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. UKCetnet provides a fast means of transferring the latest whale and dolphin sightings from observers to those interested in the whereabouts and general distribution of cetaceans.
The cetacean network is entirely reliant on sightings contributions from its members so all those who join and collect sightings or hear of sightings should make an effort to add them to the UKCetnet mailing list. Remember, even species which are abundant in one area are worth mailing with any behavioural / interesting notes for the consumption of the readership.
So welcome to UKCetnet and happy whale watching. We look forward to hearing from you.
