BE M. Wieland WHALE WISE As a marine stewardship area, San Juan County’s beauty and abundant wildlife need extra protection.
BE SELECTIVE ABOUT THE TOURS YOU ATTEND If you go on a guided whale watching, kayaking or fishing trip, ask about the laws and what the operator does on the water to support Southern Resident killer whale recovery and survival. VIEW FROM SHORE Look for whales from shore to reduce the impact of noise and physical disturbance on endangered Southern Resident killer whales. GIVE WHALES THEIR SPACE While on your boat, slow down to reduce noise and potential impact to wildlife, turn off your sonar, and look for the whale warning flag if you spot whales while on your boat. Do not approach or join a “pod-parazzi” of private boats to follow the whales. See www.bewhalewise.org for more information on restrictions and consequences of violating federal laws protecting marine mammals. C. Hansen
