New website to report marine wildlife sightings

A marine life charity says reporting sightings of whales, dolphins and other sea creatures is now much simpler, after it launched a new website.

Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch, based on Michael Street in Peel, says it's new online presence lets people tell it when they see wildlife off the Island's coast.

After the launch of mwdw.net this week, the organisation says it plans to introduce sections for members, an online store, and displays of recent sightings.

It's also asking users to contact it with feedback about the new site.
