ORCA wholly rely on the generosity of our supporters and members to continue our work. However, now more than ever, we need that support to continue and grow.

Every piece of equipment, every event we run and every report we write is funded by an amazing network of supporters who want to contribute to our work.

There has never been a more important time for ORCA to do what we do; we live in a world that is experiencing rapidly expanding threats to the marine environment and a society that is increasingly exploiting the ocean. Our wonderful whales and dolphins have never been more at risk.

All of this is in the face of a shrinking pot of money for small charities like ours, and it is a continuing struggle to make sure that we have the resources to support our network of committed volunteers.

I have been a member of ORCA for a few years now, and it has transformed my life in so many ways and given me a real sense of direction and purpose. My volunteer work as an OceanWatcher and Marine Mammal Surveyor has allowed me great opportunities to travel and to meet some fantastic people of all ages and from all walks of life. During my time with ORCA, I have also seen some fascinating wildlife, from polar bears to blue whales! Why not join up as a member and take an active part in helping to conserve whales, dolphins & porpoises and their habitats
