Learn About Whale Watching Channel Islands

By Shawn Hunter


Whales are the largest mammals to exist in the current generation and its a known fact that they live in the waters. Despite the vast expanses of water that are in existence many scientists have not even discovered a tenth of what lays in its depths. In many occasions only the huge animals gets noticed that is why they are unique in their status. This activity in itself is the practice of observing whales and dolphins in their natural habitats the Whale watching Channel Islands may be scientific or recreational in nature.

Off shore sites at the Santa Barbara makes this channel island a watchers paradise. This is because they have the privilege of having to watch the humpback whale from close proximity of their migratory route and also the privilege of seeing for themselves first-hand the behavior of these mammals in its natural habitat. The Barbara stretch offers a nostalgic view that most watcher would dream of.

Some call it the orca, some call it the killer whale while one thing in common between the two names is its constant beauty the killer one as its known is black in colour and has some white patches that makes it look like a harmless fish. But one unbecoming fact about the them is their stealthy killing nature; it is known to hunt in packs and is so confident that it at times hunts at the shore line taking off its prey on land. All this action can at times be witnessed at the Anacapa channel Island

The blue one, is the largest mammal roaming the sea, by nature its a calm giant and it rarely attacks any other animal and to make things more complex it is a herbivore thus no flesh eating, more often than not this leviathan mammal is viewed in the Santa Cruz stretch of the sea. And in many occasions it is not seen in one but in a whole pack this is because they travel in whole packs or in some instances a mother and calf.

For any watcher the channel national island park is a paradise that evokes emotion whenever mentioned. This is because it contains not only the common culprits from the orcas blue whales and humpback whale but also has the rare grey whale that is a common site to all who visit this is because it gracefully embraces the waters of the park and is a common site in the locality.

Since time in memorial there has always existed these channels but long ago they were not really viewed as channels but they were viewed as points where one could hunt down the whales for food, this notion slowly changed as time progressed and slowly but surely the people started embracing the culture of this activity which eventually turned out become an economic activity in future.

Many people encamp along the migratory routes as they do not want to miss a chance to have a glimpse of these giants. On the other hand, scientists have been known to follow these sea giants to all destinations across the sea. They have also been allowed to touch and even treat the giants at the Island channel.

Watching as an act is a pleasure and constantly nostalgic in nature as it constantly changes thus a new experience constantly. Moreover, this exercise also helps in creating employment as there are lots of people who depend on this for their daily bread.
