Whale watching is the practice of observing whales and dolphins (cetaceans) in their natural habitat.

Whale watching is mostly a recreational activity (cf.

birdwatching), but it can also serve scientific and/or educational purposes.

A study prepared for International Fund for Animal Welfare in 2009 estimated that 13 million people went whale watching globally in 2008.

Whale watching generates $2.1 billion per annum in tourism revenue worldwide, employing around 13,000 workers.

The size and rapid growth of the industry has led to complex and continuing debates with the whaling industry about the best use of whales as a natural resource.

The Blue River is a tributary of the Colorado River, approximately long, in the U.S. state of Colorado.

Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water.

It is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle.

A kayak is a low-to-the-water, canoe-like boat in which the paddler sits facing forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle to pull front-to-back on one side and then the other in rotation.

Most kayaks have closed decks, although sit-on-top and inflatable kayaks are growing in popularity as well.

Scylla serrata (often called mud crab or mangrove crab, although both terms are highly ambiguous, as well as black crab) is an ecologically important species of crab found in the estuaries and mangroves of Africa, Australia and Asia.

In their most common form, the shell colour varies from a deep, mottled green to very dark brown.

Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish.

Fish are normally caught in the wild.

Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping.

“Fishing” may include catching aquatic animals other than fish, such as molluscs, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms.

The term is not normally applied to catching farmed fish, or to aquatic mammals, such as whales where the term whaling is more appropriate.

In addition to being caught to be eaten, fish are caught as recreational pastimes.

Fishing tournaments are held, and caught fish are sometimes kept as preserved or living trophies.

When bioblitzes occur, fish are typically caught, identified, and then released.
