The Space Whale consists of two stained glass life-sized humpback
whales, one a mother and one a calf, weighing 30,000 pounds altogether
and reaching 50 feet high. Artist Matt Schultz dreamed up the Space
Whale project in 2008, after swimming alongside whales on a vacation in
the Philippines.

‘I could have touched it’: Woman paddles with humpback whale
Oh look, more paddle boarders behaving poorly around whales!
This woman purposefully got out of a boat and onto a paddle board just so she could approach a humpback whale. In Canada, the DFO states for vessels (THS INCLUDES PADDLE BOARDERS): “DO NOT approach or position your vessel closer than 100 metres/yards to any whale.”
This really is not okay and I am so sick of paddle boarders thinking rules don’t apply to them. The media doesn’t help either when they publish these stories and make it sound like it’s okay to do this. It also doesn’t help that nothing is ever enforced and people who break these guidelines are never punished.
Do not be the stupid paddle boarder who jeopardizes the safety of an animal just for the “amazing experience”
