dolphins being seen around the Teesside coast<\/a>, with particularly memorable sightings around Redcar, Marske and Saltburn.\n<\/p>\n\n More than 30 bottlenose dolphins were seen off Saltburn Pier in one day in summer 2020, with the same group later spotted at Redcar and Hartlepool.\n<\/p>\n
\n The dolphins drew crowds and photographers, with people able to watch them from the shore.\n<\/p>\n
\n Several more sightings were reported along the Redcar and Cleveland coast that year.\n<\/p>\n
\n Pictures captured a pod of dolphins off Marske in July 2020, while a large group was spotted off Saltburn later that summer.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dolphins are no strangers to this stretch of the North Sea.\n<\/p>\n
\n A historical review found records of 16 whale, dolphin and porpoise species along the coast from the Tees estuary to Scarborough and Filey.\n<\/p>\n
\n There have also been more unusual encounters around Redcar.\n<\/p>\n
\n An adult male common dolphin about two metres long became stranded at South Gare in November 2022.\n<\/p>\n
\n A member of the public found the dolphin, and British Divers Marine Life Rescue volunteers assisted by the Coastguard returned it to the North Sea.\n<\/p>\n
\n Wildlife enthusiasts continue to watch the Teesside coast for dolphins, porpoises and other marine mammals.\n<\/p>\n
\n Tees Valley Wildlife Trust regularly holds sea-watching sessions from Saltburn, whose clifftop overlooks the beach, North Sea and Huntcliff.\n<\/p>\n
\n Its next social sea watch is on Sunday, September 20, when volunteers will help people look for dolphins and other marine wildlife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Redcar MP Anna Turley shared footage of the dolphins swimming offshore and called the sight \u201cabsolutely beautiful\u201d.
