A very Happy New Year to all of ORCA’s dedicated Marine Mammal Surveyors. We hope you enjoyed a restful festive break and are feeling energised and ready for an exciting 2026 survey season. If you haven’t already, you can catch up on the highlights from an incredible 2025 season on the News and Blogs section of our website.
Thank you for everything you do - ORCA’s work simply wouldn’t be possible without your commitment and passion for cetacean conservation.
2026 Ferry Surveys
The ORCA office team is currently busy planning this year’s ferry surveys, and we expect applications to open at the end of January for surveys taking place in March, April and May. Keep an eye on your email inbox, ORCA’s social media channels, and the Surveyor Network news page for updates and details on how to apply.
Marine Mammal Surveyor Form
All surveyors must have completed a Marine Mammal Surveyor Form which can be found here, for future survey applications to be considered. Please note this form needs to be completed every year, and when any details change.
Thank you once again for your dedication and enthusiasm. We’re looking forward to heading into another inspiring survey season with you and can’t wait to see what 2026 brings!
