There are a some Cetacean Sightings
reports of Humpback Whales, Pacific White Sided Dolphins, Harbour
Porpoise and a couple of Orca. Fewer tours and a now dead radio, even
the few Eco-tour boats out there need to contact me by other means
rather than just passing the information over the air waves. The whales and dolphins are out there - Keep Looking!
Apologies for the delayed sightings
report....battling computers with updates to the main Whales
and Dolphins BC web site and an attempt to get set up on Facebook
as well. Any insight into setting up the Facebook page would be
helpful! I'm going around in circles with it.
What is new, is the new Support
Page which also has information for Volunteers and offers a
chance to win a four day, three night cruise for two people.
