Whether you’re spotting them from a coastal lookout or out on the water, now’s the time to keep your eyes out for whales and help protect the ocean in which we share.

#AusPol #Whales #Animals #Whale #Sea #Ocean #NSWPol #AusPol26 #Climate #Nature #Oceans #WhaleMigration

You can help whales by protecting their "blue corridors" which means adhering to strict boating and drone distances, reporting if you see distressed or entangled whales to Orca Australia (02 9415 3333) and reducing your plastic and noise pollution.

#AusPol #Whales #Animals #Whale #Ocean #NSWPol

Every year, around 35,000 whales move along the coastline to make their way north and then back south due to food supply and to give birth.
