Updated data sheet: circle to confirm when no vessels have been seen

We have added an option to circle 'no vessels seen' to the data sheet in order to confirm that there were no vessels present during a Shorewatch (rather than that the watcher did not look for vessels) and to make the data more directly comparable to the in depth vessel surveys being carried out with Emily Hague and Heriot Watt University. You can now download the most current version of the data sheet directly from the database; under the 'Record Data' menu you will find a direct link to the most up-to-date version.

WDC Shorewatch is teaming up with Emily Hague at Heriot Watt University on a collaboartive project working together to understand the potential risks marine mammals face in Scotland from boats. You can do extended vessel watches and gather more detailed observations from your Shorewatch site.
