Who are Sea Watch Observers?
The people who form part of the Sea Watch observer network go well beyond marine and fisheries biologists and include anyone whose work or leisure activities takes him/her on or near the sea – fishermen, coastguards, the crews of ferries, weather ships, oil supply ships, oil rigs, holiday-makers, ornithologists, aircraft pilots, merchant and royal naval seamen amongst others. In this way, anybody whatever their background can become directly involved, in a practical sense, with the conservation of marine wildlife in Britain and Ireland.
