The operator should use local help, be attached to the local environment, and be obviously integrated into the community or region.ĭepending on the whale watching area, there may be a local code of conduct or set of rules governing whale watching.Good operators should know their whales, their habits and threats, and should share the information with clients, such that they come away from the experience knowing more about the animals than when they started out.AWI does not encourage swimming with wild cetaceans, particularly by commercial operators, as it adds a dimension of intrusion into the lives of these free-living animals.

Clients should never be allowed to touch, feed or throw things to the animals.

Operator vessels should be fit for the purpose, should have a current permit (if required), should be operated so as not to impact the normal behavior of the animals, respect minimum approach distances and speeds, never approach a whale head on, and limit time spent near the animals.

The operator should respect the animals first and the clients second-those “guaranteeing” a whale sighting should not be trusted.

The purpose of the trip should be clearly to educate as well as entertain clients, such that they become motivated to care about wild cetaceans and their habitats.

There are some general parameters to which responsible whale watching operators should adhere. If fortunate enough to go whale or dolphin watching, then please do so responsibly, with a reputable outfit that follows a voluntary or mandatory code of conduct designed to minimize impacts on the cetaceans targeted. In some cases, irresponsible whale watching has led to serious injury and death when animals have been struck by whale watching vessels. Far too often, whale and dolphin watching involves repeated harassment of animals-which can lead to stress and behavioral changes. As a consequence, the number of operators offering trips, sometimes to see the same populations of whales over and over again, is also rising. The demand for wild interactions with cetaceans is increasing. As well as providing entertainment to those watching, responsible whale watching can provide significant financial returns to local communities, accurate education to passengers, and can foster strong conservation principles. Over 13 million people across over 100 countries go whale watching every year, feeding a multi-billion dollar industry.ĪWI supports responsible watching of cetaceans in the wild as opposed to patronizing captive facilities. There is something magical about seeing a wild animal up close-especially when it's as big as a bus! Humans have an understandable fascination with whales and dolphins, and the best way to see them is in their natural environment, on their terms.
