Title
Sea Watch Foundation
Description
In 1973, Peter Evans set up the Cetacean Group within the Mammal Society to find out more about cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), in British and Irish waters by involving the public in the study of living wild animals. Previously, scientific knowledge was derived entirely from the examination of dead animals, either stranded ashore or the target of whaling activities.
In 1991, Sea Watch was created by Dr Evans in association with Paul Vodden (who for several years had been involved in animal welfare and conservation, working for the RSPCA, Greenpeace and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society) to provide a more formal framework for the work of the Cetacean Group by establishing it as a charity and a company limited by guarantee.
Today, Sea Watch is staffed by five persons, three based in Oxford and and two in our Welsh office in New Quay.
