Whale Watch West Cork has acted as consultants and provided charter services for professional projects covering TV Film Production, photojournalism and marine survey work. With our scientific credentials and practical knowledge of animal behaviour and movements we are able to bring a unique perspective to your project and charter. From many years of study we know where to take you to find the animals and provide very specific scientific commentary on the behaviour and distribution of a variety of species including fin whales, minke whales and humpback whales along with smaller cetaceans such as Risso's, common and bottlenose dolphins as well as the harbour porpoise. We are also able to provide a very specific scientific commentary regarding the conservation status of many of these species in addition to general commentary about the marine environment and the challenges it faces.
