North West England & Isle of Man

The Isle of Man is a marine wildlife hotspot. In the summer months massive basking sharks and minke whales follow rich plankton blooms and seals are everywhere! Sea life flourishes in the fascinating and varied landscape of caves, ledges and overhangs around the island - an oasis for life in the Irish Sea. No Seasearch reports exist from the northwest English coast, so we haven't recommended any sites here - as yet!

Message from our sponsor: Fat Face loves life outside the 9-5 and being outdoors. So to do their bit to help protect the places we play in and get more people out there they've set up the Fat Face Foundation. The Foundation works with organisations to enable people to actively enjoy the outdoors and respect the environments we play in. Fat Face has always had the sea close to its heart and sees the link between the Foundation and the Marine Conservation Society as being a natural fit. The Fat Face Foundation has already adopted a beach to clean to be part of the fight against beach litter. The Foundation believes that we all have a part to play in protecting our seas as well, so is proudly supporting the Your Seas Your Voice campaign to highlight the lack of protected areas around the UK coasts and would urge individuals to do the same.
