If you encounter a whale or dolphin in the wild do not panic or make any sudden movements. Instead, move slowly away from the animal, and be careful not to get in its path. Do not try to chase, touch, or feed the animals. Be particularly cautious when mothers are caring for young. Do not suddenly change direction in your paddling vessel, and don’t jump in the water.
