Pacific White Sided Dolphins are around
in large numbers and one brief Orca report. The calm sunny weather
this long weekend should make spotting Cetaceans easier, so please
remember to call your sighting in. Every sighting report is
important.

March 29:
7:30 pm Well over 100 PWS Dolphins were
spread out mid channel between Rebecca Rocks (in front of Pwell
River) and Vancouver Island. I watched their blows and splashes till
a bit after 8 pm. They were chasing feed back and forth out there but
slowly working their way North West towards Vancouver Island.

to 100 PWS Dolphins for around 40 minutes just off Rasmussen Bay
(Copeland Island area) and towards Lund. They were circling, leaping
and splashing back and forth. We saw them come down Thulin Passage.
