In reply to John Seebeck's email regarding Blue Whale
sightings I must say it is excellent news that there will soon be a Whale Watch
web site. As well as going on pelagic bird trips off Eden I also fish
there in my 4.5 metre "tinny". Various cetaceans are seen from time to time all
year round. It will be great to have somewhere to post ones sightings instead
of keeping the information to oneself through lack of information as to
who to contact. News of this proposed site could possibly be supplied to
commercial fishermen & recreational fishing individuals & clubs. A
helluva lot of marine mammals are seen by fishing people without the
information being passed on to the relevant organisations. I'll watch John
Seebeck's posts with keen anticipation.
