Adopt a porpoise
When you become a porpoise pal with Sea Trust you are directly contributing to the conservation of Pembrokeshire’s porpoises and our local marine environment.
Projects & Research
The Sea Trust is currently running three main projects: the Porpoise photo-ID project, where images of individual porpoise are used to study their population and ecology; Recycle Mor, which recycles end of the line fishing gear into useful everyday products; and FINtastic Fauna which trains volunteers to become citizen scientists and record marine wildlife around the Pembrokeshire coast as well as raises awareness around the community about the wildlife they have on their doorstep.
Education & Outreach
Our Education and Outreach work is extremely important to us. We aim to increase awareness of Pembrokeshire’s wonderful marine life and improve accessibility to Pembrokeshire’s marine world. We work with schools and community groups to offer education and outreach. We are able to host school and group visits at Ocean Lab for aquarium tours and seashore safaris, as well as visiting schools and groups to run sessions on marine conservation.
Wildlife Sightings
Sea Trust’s Community Sightings Network encourages residents, local wildlife enthusiasts and visitors to report their sightings of whales, dolphins and porpoises to the Sea Trust. This information is very useful in understanding where and when particular species occur.

They work year-round to build understanding and fill knowledge gaps to protect our Welsh marine environment and its wildlife. Their motto is; ‘Local people looking after their own marine environment and its wildlife’… and that what Sea Trust delivers!”
Meet our Patron – Jane Davidson
Jane Davidson, former Education Minister and Minister for Environment and Sustainability in Wales, and author of #Futuregen: Lessons from a Small Country, is on a mission for sustainability! During her time in the Welsh Government, Jane made revolutionary changes to protect the environment and mainstream sustainability, such as introducing the first plastic bag charge in the UK and creating a Climate Change Commission for Wales. Her recycling regulations made Wales the third best in the world for recycling! Jane is working tirelessly for the Welsh environment and we are incredibly grateful to have Jane as a Patron with us at Sea Trust!
