Course Details
The Whale-Safe Boating course is NOW available! Whether you paddle, sail, or motor in coastal British Columbia, this course is for YOU.
This free, online course is a comprehensive, one-stop resource that fulfills a critical need by addressing the safety of BOTH marine mammals and boaters. It helps recreational boaters stay safe and legal around marine mammals —while also enhancing their enjoyment of our spectacular coast and contributions to marine mammal conservation.
Whale-Safe Boating was made possible by Transport Canada’s Boater Safety Contribution Program and our development of the course benefited from an advisory committee of professionals with expertise in boating, paddling, education, marine mammals, and regulatory policy.
