Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) at Les Ecrehous
Bottlenose dolphins are being seen on a regular basis off the south, east, north coasts and offshore reefs like to one above pictured last week off Les Ecrehous.
The section now has an online report form which can be accessed from the Societe Jersiaise web site
or from the following URL: http://www.societe-jersiaise.org/marine-biology/report-a-marine-life-sighting.html
The section would very much appreciate sightings of any significant marine life and are also working on developing online resources for reporting general species to be found on and around our shore. This data is valuable for us to gain a better understanding of the habitats, movements, and changes (if any) of our local marine life. Data is also exchanged with national partners, most notably GECC in Normandy and the Cornish Seal Group.
The section now has a small team collating and working this data and they would welcome anyone with an interest in assisting them either in entering, publishing or collecting the data.
