My name is Ian Sim I live in the North East of Scotland in a town called Aberdeenshire, for the past eight years I have been monitoring and studying behavior patterns of mainly Bottle Nosed Dolphins, by land and sea based surveys.
In the past eight years I have been not only a volunteer for Sea Watch Foundation (SWF,) but also Regional Coordinator from Findon (South of Aberdeen) to Arbroath with the organization.
I am also a volunteer for the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) as a Medic, rescuing stranded marine life Dolphins, Whales, and Porpoise Seals etc, being a small part of the team who successfully freed the Minke Whale at Fraserburgh Harbor on 2nd August 2007
I have worked with Marine Biologists such as Caroline Weir (www.ketosecology.co.uk) but mainly my good friend Sarah J Canning, who gave me the opportunity to share with her much of the research and projects. Projects such as data, and I'D of these incredible animals on this coastline of the Nth East, and most important the knowledge and understanding of the world of Cetaceans. (Dolphins, Whales and Porpoise)

It’s important that some of this knowledge past on to me will give your more detailed insight of the world of cetaceans.
Subjects will be incorporated in this website such as the visitation by different species, unusual sightings also there will be hard true facts and some sad stories but also lighter and heart warming subject’s i.e. video footage of these mammals and hopefully will be an education to the all generations including the younger generation, so I hope you enjoy this website.
I believe that it is vitally important that this research carries on, as we man are destroying their environment with Marine pollution such as 800,000 tonnes of oil, 6.5millon tonnes of industrial waste and also 7.8 million tonnes human sewage each year going in to the North Sea.
Man can not afford to bury our heads in the sand anymore, or hope it will go away, or it will never happen, not only pollution but Global warming is here NOW and is not going away, so by way of research man may be able to help before this becomes a bigger problem for us Man and especially our marine wild life.
This subject and others will be incorporated in this website such the visitation by different species, unusual sightings also lighter and heart warming subject’s i.e. video footage of these mammals and hopefully will be an education to the all generations including the younger generation, so I hope you enjoy this website. |
