Zero tolerance policy on whale watching violations

A zero-tolerance policy on whale watching violations means there are strict rules that will be enforced without exceptions. If a tour operator or participant breaks regulations—such as approaching whales too closely, causing disturbance, or harming the animals—they face serious penalties, including fines or losing their license. The goal is to protect whales and ensure responsible, safe viewing. This policy emphasizes accountability, discouraging careless behavior, and demonstrating a strong commitment to conservation and ethical practices during whale watching activities.
