It does make all of us who work in the whale watching world quite nervous because it does put whales at heightened risk of vessel strike and other threats, including heightened stress," Mayfield said.
If we find a whale in an area where they don't normally occur, we might stop with them for a few minutes, take a brief look, ensure that the animal seems physically intact, is not entangled in fishing gear or anything like that, doesn't seem to have any visible, notable injuries," Mayfield said.
