520 |a"These guidelines include general tips on how to watch whales safely from various types of boats without disturbing the cetaceans. It should be remembered, however, that specific precautions may be in order when you are watching particular species in certain areas under given sailing conditions. Some specific cases are mentioned in this guide, but further details may have to be obtained locally. The section on the characteristics of various whale species is intended to assist the reader in identifying the animals sighted. The information provided is very basic, however, and to learn more about these creatures we suggest you consult the publications listed at the end of the brochure" -- Foreword, page 5.
