Boaters warned against approaching whales

The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary warned boaters not to approach within 300 feet (the length of a football field) of any whale after scientists found a young humpback about 25 feet long dead Sunday. Several whale species — grays, humpbacks and blues — either migrate or feed in the area of the Farallones and there’s a high risk of collisions with vessels.
