After receiving feedback from our dedicated Marine Mammal Surveyors, it will now be possible to purchase additional ORCA branded uniform directly from the Shirtworks website. New items include long-sleeved polo shirts, soft shell jackets, caps, hats and headbands, in addition to the ORCA short-sleeved polo shirt.
Essential ORCA Uniform
All Marine Mammal Surveyors taking part in ORCA surveys MUST wear an ORCA polo shirt.
Polo shirts are now available in both long and short sleeves, and must be worn during any ORCA surveys. You will not be granted access to the bridge without an ORCA polo shirt. Polo shirts cannot be substituted for the new soft shell jackets - these are an additional and optional uniform item.
As well as your ORCA polo shirt, all Marine Mammal Surveyors must wear smart casual trousers, and closed-toed, sturdy shoes when taking part in an ORCA survey. Jeans are acceptable as long as they don’t have rips in them, however it is not possible to wear shorts or skirts on the bridge. Walking boots or trainers are suitable footwear.
Optional ORCA Uniform
It will now be possible for all Marine Mammal Surveyors to purchase additional ORCA branded uniform items. Please remember that any optional uniform should only be worn in addition to the ORCA polo shirt during ORCA surveys. An ORCA polo shirt (short or long sleeved) MUST be worn on every survey.
The additional, optional uniform items available include:
Soft shell jacket - waterproof and wind resistant, breathable fleece backed material, with full length zip with inner storm flap. Available in both men’s and women’s sizes (women’s jacket is fitted)
Outdoor cap - waterproof and breathable fabric, pre-curved peak and adjustable clip closure at rear
Cuffed beanie hat - ribbed knit with wide cuff, made from recycled material
Waffle headband - superfleece thermal headband with crocheted knit
