If you are operating your vessel in areas close to whale sightings or where whales may migrate, you must:

• Maintain your watch as a boat operator at all times;
• Be aware that whales can surface unexpectedly and may be unaware of boats;
• Keep a look-out at all times for blows, go slow if you see one; and
• Stay clear of whales by providing them with lots of space. Stay at least 200m away.

Note: The distance of 200m is the equivalent to approximately two (2) American Football fields.
