Steve Shallhorn
“We've actually seen them so close that you can see the spout but you can't see the whale. You have to crawl out on your hands and knees and look out over the rocks. They like to come up and rub against the rocks.”
Morris Graves

Chris Carter
“I have seen a lot of whale watching operations, quite a few of which were very irresponsible, but I was quite impressed with the local whale watching. They didn't harass the whales, they didn't approach the whales. They waited for the whales to come to them.”
Paul Watson
“While the Sanctuary has been most associated with whales and whale watching, it also serves as a steward of the submerged historical and cultural resources within its boundaries. We are extremely proud that our first dedicated mission to search and explore has produced such exciting results.”
