#BoatingWildlifeAware Have you ever been lucky enough to see a dolphin? Today's tip: Sometimes dolphins like to swim by boats. If this happens to you, gently reduce your speed & give them space to move away. More advice: rya.org/ab1r50SbPeo Photo: Ray Harrington

Today's #BoatingWildlifeAware tip: 👀 See - can you spot an animal in the distance? ⚖️ Evaluate - how many are there, what is its direction? 🙂 Act - think speed, be steady, predictable and quiet. Are there any other actions you think you should do?
