Alex Matthews of BestCoast Outfitters and Dave do a quick loop around the Race Rocks Ecological Reserve Jan 16th 2022.
Most importantly: be aware that it is imperative to keep a safe distance from the wildlife.
Regulations from the Race Rocks website state:
'Slow to 7 knots or less within 400 metres of the rocks surrounding Great Race Rock, West Race Rock, North Race Rock and Rosedale Rock.
Do not approach closer than 100 metres to any marine mammal, including those on the rocks.
Do not pass through the narrow shallow passage to the south of Great Race Rocks. As well as being dangerous for running aground, it inevitably disturbs birds and seals and sealions. Seals often train their young in that passage as well and these young ones are easily hit by boats as they sleep on the surface.
Not following these guidelines, or the Be Whale Wise Marine Guidelines for Boaters, Paddlers and Viewers (Revised 2006), may constitute a violation of the Marine Mammal Regulations. Violators face potential fines of up to $100,000.'
For up close viewing of wildlife, go to the excellent www.racerocks.ca website and check out their blog, and explore the islands via their webcams.
