VANCOUVER Whale-spotting season has officially begun in B.C., and whale researchers are reminding cetacean enthusiasts about how to enjoy the majestic marine mammals without putting themselves or the whales at risk Aaron Purdy, the director of Ocean Wise’s southern Vancouver Island whale research initiative, said the most important thing about whale watching is to know the rules before heading out to spot whales, whether it be by land or sea. “I just want to encourage people, make sure that you know what the rules are before you leave.” “The worst thing to do is be scrambling to learn what you re supposed to be doing once you re in this situation,” he said.
