Over the summer, you may have heard reports and seen pictures of dolphins frolicking around our coasts.

It's no longer that unusual to see these beautiful creatures from a boat or even in some cases from the shore.
But sadly, not all is well in this sea world. For several years now, dolphin deaths have been monitored in the South West, and this year has proved to be the worst on record, with over 80 bodies washed up on the beaches.
Earlier this year, Lindy Hingley was awarded the MBE for her work trying to save dolphins. She set up Brixham Sea Watch 11 years ago, and has devoted her life to their cause.
Hoping to see some dolphins for herself, Debbie Manners joined her on board the Sally Pamela, skippered by Keith Perring.
