The charity Orca studied whales, dolphins and porpoises from the Scillonian ferry.

Between March and October there were 95 sightings of animals on the 37-mile crossing, said Orca.

A total of 4,924 individual animals had been recorded since the surveys started in 2009, with 16 different species seen. These included killer whales, humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, basking sharks, seals, tuna and leatherback turtles. Lucy Babey, Orca's head of science and conservation, said 2022 had been an "incredible survey season" and thanked the ferry firm for allowing it to "carry out our vital monitoring work, so that we can help to protect these incredible animals for the future".
