  • How to Take Identifiable Photos of Fish

    2026-06-26

    Taking photos of wildlife can be challenging. It is not essential to photograph every point on this diagram to get an identifiable observation. Just try your best! When photographing fish, minimize air exposure by taking an underwater photo whenever possible, allowing them to breathe freely. If taking a picture outside the water, keep the fish near the water and lift it briefly for the photo, limiting air exposure to 10 seconds or less. Be sure to follow local fishing guidelines and regulations.

  • Wild About Whales Poster

    2026-06-26

    Cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) are marine mammals that have fully adapted to life in water. Unlike other mammals, they do not rely on land for any part of their life cycle. There are about 33 species of cetaceans observed in Canadian waters.Cetaceans can be divided in two groups: toothed whales (Odontocetes) and baleen whales (Mysticetes). Both types of cetaceans share the many characteristics that enable them to survive solely in marine habitats. They can, for example, hold their breath for long periods of time while underwater. However, there are a few key features that make them strikingly different. Dive in and discover them!

  • How To Build a Turtle Nesting Site

    2026-06-26

    Sometimes turtles nest in problem areas like gardens, driveways or compost piles. To encourage turtles to nest elsewhere, or to create nesting habitat if it is lacking, consider building a nesting site. Keep in mind that turtles will often return to sites where they have nested before, so it may take a few seasons before a new site is used. We also recommend having nest protectors ready to protect any nests laid.
