Every year, hundreds of thousands of cetaceans, like the young humpback whale pictured below, become trapped in lost or discarded fishing equipment, also known as 'ghost gear'. Tragically claiming the lives of countless marine animals, thankfully this juvenile humpback whale was freed by a rescue team in Algoa Bay, South Africa last year - but not all are so lucky. Determined to draw attention to ghost gear and its potential harm on marine animals, our sister charity the World Cetacean Alliance has joined forces with sustainable brand Waterhaul. Committed to combating the threat of ghost gear by removing this dangerous waste from the ocean and transforming it into recycled products, the collaboration has launched a limited-edition range of rescue-to-recycle sunglasses, using this harmful marine plastic.

New Brighton Wildlife Sailing trip: Saturday, October 5th, 2-5pm Due to high demand, we have arranged for one final Brighton Wildlife Sailing experience this season. The 3-hour sailing trip leaves Brighton Marina at 14.00 and returns at 17.00. The Brighton Wildlife Sailing Experience is a new way to immerse yourself in the beauty of Sussex from the water. You will be one of just 8 guests on a yacht expertly crewed by our friends at Brighton Boating and supported by our experienced wildlife guide. You will have the opportunity to take the wheel and help the crew under the watchful eye of our skipper as we gently sail along the Sussex coastline, guided by the wind and the waves. You can be involved as little or as much as you like while you enjoy a glass of bubbly and take in the sights on this truly magical adventure. Sussex Dolphin Project’s wildlife guide will narrate your experience, telling you about local marine life and the cetaceans we study. Dolphin sightings are not guaranteed, but our wildlife guide will watch closely for any marine mammal activity.
