Marine Conservation: Whale Watching in Southern California
Having developed a passion for marine conservation through the boat tours and film-making process, Captain Dave initiated Orange County’s first whale disentanglement team in 2008. He continues to raise awareness of the thousands of whales and dolphins that die in fishing-gear entanglements every day worldwide.
Captain Dave’s Whale Watching team is also proud to host beach clean-ups in Southern California to keep plastic and trash out of our oceans. Reef-safe sunscreen is also offered onboard to protect guests’ skin without hurting the wildlife in and around Dana Point. You can learn more about the various ways in which the company contributes by reading our comprehensive giving back page.
