Whale and dolphin diary

Sea lovers will soon be able to keep an eye on the whales and dolphins around the Isle of Man.

Today the Department of Tourism and Leisure is launching an on-line diary, highlighting the variety and number of whales, dolphins and porpoises.

It will give monthly reports and in July there will be extra weekly reports and video clips.

A team will be taking out a local film crew to some of the hotspots to get video footage to help support the results of the survey.
