It is strongly remended that vessel(船只 )operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. ● Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back. ● Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on. ● Keep noise levels downno horns, whistles or racing of engines. ● Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel. ● Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales. ● Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction. ● Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales. ● Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if travelling side by side with whales. ● When whales are travelling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or ing between the whales and the shore. ● Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales. ● If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales. ● Work together by municating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware 。 A Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona.
