Federal authorities are looking for two jet skiers after receiving tips they were “pursuing and riding over-top” humpback whales in Resurrection Bay in July. Photos posted Tuesday on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Facebook page – alongside a plea for tips — show the jet skiers very close to surfacing whales near a rocky outcrop. The Marine Mammal Protection Act requires people to maintain a 100-yard safety perimeter around humpback whales, said Allyson Rogers, a communications officer with NOAA’s law enforcement division.

We are living in fear.”
