Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch Centre opens

A new visitor centre has opened in Peel this weekend.

The Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch Centre opened yesterday in Michael Street.

The centre will open most days from 10am to 4pm, providing information about the many species of porpoises, whales and dolphins which can be found in Manx waters.

It will also serve as the official headquarters of the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch charity, which helps the public identify the animals they spot as well as contribute towards our understanding of these creatures.
