- Headlands, reef edges, island colonies, tidal channels, or productive coastal water
- Protected habitat blocks within indo-Pacific coastal regions
Tips spotting
- First light and late afternoon are often best, when animals come out to feed along the edge of water.
- Time your search around tide, wind, and visibility, then focus on feeding lines, reef edges, and known haul-out or nesting spots.
- Choose a viewing point with clean light and water visibility, then watch for repeated surfacing, feeding, or current lines.
