Description:

"NMFS will adopt new regulations to protect killer whales in inland waters of Washington State. The regulations include a 200 yard approach restriction and a prohibition on parking in the path of the whales for all vessels, with some exceptions. The regulations may affect the experience of commercial and recreational whale watchers by increasing the viewing distance from the whales. No significant impacts on recreational opportunities to go whale watching, commercial whale watching businesses, or other resources are anticipated"--Cover letter.
