+Please familiarize yourself with all potential ways for **avoiding negative impact **with and from local wildlife (animal or plants) where you plan to paddle. **Invasive species** continue to be an increasingly expensive and destructive issue on inland waterways. Some fish and aquatic mammals may need a **buffer distance from humans** particularly **during their mating or birthing seasons**. And be aware that **close proximity with some critters can be risky for you**. Boats destroyed and nearly destroyed by **breaching whales** happens. And you may not want to do your remount practice close to seal island where your **local men in gray suits** like to dine.
+The rest of this page is just a sampler of photos of the marvelous variety of wildlife encountered and captured on camera during paddle outings.
