Thanks, Dave, for the idea of a brochure. I'm a freelance writer but - duh! - never thought of that. It could be updated periodically as more knowledge was added. I also appreciate Bruce McC's warning that simply alerting people to sensitive areas - and encouraging them to act responsibly - can bring on the hordes, many of whom aren't responsible. Which brings me to something else I'd like input on.... say there is a small rubbing beach which gets orcas during the summer - not daily, not on a schedule of any sort - but often enough to be notable and exciting. It also has fairly easy access, both by car and by boat. In writing this brochure - or any other guidebook for that matter - is it better to mention it and include reasonable guidelines for behavior - or downplay or ignore it? This has repeatedly come up within our local tourism group. I get the idea I'm asking some pretty responsible people here, so I'd like to know: what would you guys do?
