Look! All the resources in one place!

See www.bewhalewise.org/outreach-toolkit for all the laws, best practices and educational resources for reducing threats to marine mammals AND increasing boater safety.

We at the Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) are so happy to be part of this collaboration.

Congratulations and gratitude to all who have made this a reality.
