See A Spout? Watch Out!

As boaters and sailors, we have the unique opportunity to share our sanctuary waters with some extraordinary gentle giants. With that opportunity comes a responsibility to help protect them.

Whale-vessel collisions can threaten the safety of both whales and boaters, but these harmful interactions can be reduced through awareness, knowledge, and responsible boating practices.

See A Spout? Watch Out! is an outreach program designed to help boaters safely navigate waters shared with protected marine species, especially large whales. The free online “Spout Spotter” course provides information on whale protection laws, safe viewing guidelines, and ways to minimize the risk of harmful interactions.
