These notes below are taken from the old log of marine vessel occurrence and behaviours while in the reserve in 2010. Only those occurrences observed by the Ecoguardian and recorded at the time are represented here. This does not preclude other boats being in the reserve at other times.

, ‘2010-09-15’, ‘Eco-Tour’, 2, ‘I share here a typical example of the interaction of Eco Tour vessels and the wildlife at Race Rocks.  This occurred from 10:50 to 11:05 this morning:   A Seafun Safaris boat entered the reserve first and maintained a respectable distance from marine mammals while making a passive drift tour of the sea lions hauled out on Great Race Island.  The driver obviously is aware of and believes in the importance of the PWWA’s stewardship protocols for viewing wildlife at Race Rocks.\r\nThe Eagle Wing Tours vessel Gold Wing  entered the reserve and approached the Seafun Safaris vessel motoring against the current.  Its noisy, active approach alerted the Steller sea lions on the NE corner of Great Race Island causing some individuals to take to the water. The Seafun Safaris vessel finished its drift tour and left the reserve after a respectful and sustainable tour.  The Eagle Wing Tours vessel drifted and motored against the current several more times while viewing the sea lions on Great Race Island before motoring further against the current to view the sea lions on Middle Rocks. Sound and traffic congestion in the narrow channels are concerns for both Ecological Reserve management and community stakeholders.  All vessels are reminded that passive drift tours are encouraged  “whenever possible “, particularly in conditions of rippled seas as we are enjoying today.’, ‘Ryan’, ’11:08:22′),
