We have decided not to put complete sightings details on this web page as we have discoverd they are being used by without our permission. We are still happy to share information with students and other conservation organisations, please contact the centre for more information.

Basking Sharks are back having been seen in Falmouth bay and Sennen Cove. Bottlenose Dolphin sightings are also on the increase, the mother and baby that someone unfortunatley named Cookie and Sleekie have been seen again as it was feared Sleekie was dead. These two dolphins are probably the mother and baby that swam around us while diving last May in Lamorna Cove. 

We are now conducting sightings trips on board the MV Scillonion. This will give us a better picture of marine life around West Cornwall

The Scillonion is a great boat to go dolphin watching on, in the past we had a pod of over 60 Common Dolphins swim around the ship from half way out and follow us right in to the island. If you are taking a trip to the Scillies you can help with the cetacean survey, just contact the centre for infromation on how to do this. 

We have also had a could of late dead strandings reported, one common dolphin and one harbour porpoise. 

The Centre is always keen to receive sightings from members of the public.  Please let us know what you see by calling 01736 364860 or email us at conservation@silverdolphin.freeserve.co.uk
