West Coast Wildlife Adventures approached to view the elephant seal within 10 meters of the seal. I advised him he was too close since slash was there basking in the water. He had moved in to get a close look from a few metres. Images placed on ecotourism page  on web. This is not the first whale watching boat that is coming in too close this season. With seal pups in the water this is a dangerous thing to do.  See the ecotourism page for more information.’, ‘Garry’, ’12:41:23′),
