Yorkshire Coast Whale And Dolphin Sightings Discussed Tonight

A Facebook Live event organised by Wetwheels Yorkshire is happening at 7:00pm.

The live video discussion will feature experts from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust alongside crew and users of Wetwheels Yorkshire.

Wetwheels is a boat which takes people with disabilities out to sea from their base at Whitby Harbour.

They managed to do a limited number of trips over the summer and were amazed with what they spotted.

Peter Richardson from Wetwheels told Paddy At Breakfast that they saw many Whales and Dolphins:

"There was a point this year when we could almost guarantee seeing Whales and many days when we saw Dolphins in numbers that were unprecendented, so it's all good news for the Yorkshire Coast. We're having a recap tonight. We have some wonderful footage of Whales and Dophins this year and we'll have some of our families talking about their experiences alongside the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. We'll also discuss best practice on observing and watching these creatures because we have to be mindful not to interact with them in a negative way".

The live Facebook stream will be available on the Wetwheels Facebook page here. There will also be a compeition to win a Whale watching trip next year.
