Anna Bunney from the whale and dolphin conservation charity ORCA says the charity’s highly-trained marine mammal surveyors conducted 13 surveys from Scillonian III in 2022. Between March and October there were a total of 95 sightings, totalling an impressive 366 animals. The highlight of the season was a fin whale – the second largest animal on the planet at 27m long – during a survey in June.
