Gray whale, Whale watching, Tourism, RegulationsAbstract
This infographic arises out of concern for the well-being of the gray whale and its environment, due to pressure from tourists to touch or observe the whales up close. Here, we explain something about the gray whale, as well as nom-131-semarnat-2010, which regulates whale sightings in Mexico.
