Devon is just as famous for its coastline as it is for its inland beauty.

The warm, clear waters around parts of the county provide a home for many rare marine animals and plants, including blue sponges, sea scorpions, cup corals and sea slugs.

But it's not just divers who can see some of the wildlife the seas have to offer.

There have always been dolphins and whales off the South West coast, and they are often spotted by people on the shore and in boats.

Some dolphins have also been seen swimming past the Torpoint ferries in the River Tamar, much to the excitement of passengers.

Although dolphins are known for their friendliness, the increasing awareness of their presence has brought problems.

The public, in their eagerness to get a close-up look at the animals, have often gone too close.

Dolphins are easily distressed and some have been harmed by the close attention being paid to them.

However, provided you are careful when you see them, we want to know if you have spotted any of the mammals around the coastline.
