Keep your distance this migration season 🐳💙

Tens of thousands of whales, including humpbacks, southern right whales and minkes are currently heading north to breed in warmer waters. Whales and their calves can become distressed when disturbed by boats, drones, jet skis and other watercraft.

When agitated, whales might increase their dive duration, change direction frequently and swim faster – which consumes precious energy reserves and disrupts social groups.

To help keep them safe, remember:

🛑️Boats must stay 100m away, or 300m if a calf is present; a 300m slow caution zone applies, no waiting in front of the whale or chasing from behind

🛑Drones must stay 100m away in all directions

🛑Jet skis must always stay 300m away

🛑Swimmers must stay 30m away while in the water

Keeping a safe distance isn’t just to keep you out of harm’s way, it’s to protect our precious whales.

This is our little ocean family.

Captured so beautifully by Here we are at Lady Elliot Island — Dylan, me with our baby tucked in my belly, and Leon riding along on my back.

This is the family behind Woebegone.
We may be small, but we carry big dreams and even bigger hopes for Jervis Bay, for ocean conservation, and for raising our children deeply connected to the sea.

Today is my official due date.
We are all ready to meet you now, little one 🐢

Thank you so much to everyone who has shared kind words, messages, and love — I’ve truly loved sharing this pregnancy with you all.

All I see is blue. 💙
