I'm planning a trip to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary for whale watching and recreational fishing. What are the specific regulations or rules I need to follow for whale watching, including minimum approach distances? Also, what are the key regulations or recommendations for recreational fishing within the sanctuary, particularly regarding gear and species?
Navigate to stellwagen.noaa.gov. Click on the 'Manage' dropdown menu. Click on the 'Regulations' link. Locate and identify the specific regulations for whale watching, including minimum approach distances to whales. Navigate back to the homepage or use the 'Visit' dropdown. Click on the 'Visit' dropdown menu. Click on the 'Fishing' link. Identify and list key regulations or recommendations for recreational fishing within the sanctuary, focusing on gear and species. Synthesize the identified whale watching regulations and recreational fishing information into a concise answer.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Regulations' page. The agent accurately states the minimum approach distance for whales (e.g., '100 yards'). The agent accurately lists at least one other specific whale watching regulation (e.g., 'Do not place vessel in path of whales', 'Do not feed or swim with whales'). The agent successfully navigates to the 'Fishing' page. The agent accurately lists at least two specific regulations or recommendations for recreational fishing, including information on gear (e.g., 'no spearfishing or lobster potting in the sanctuary', 'no bottom trawling or dredging') and species (e.g., 'no fishing for Atlantic Cod').
