Monterey Bay Whale Watch List of Most Recent Marine Mammal Sightings in the Monterey Bay Region Since July 1, 2008 compiled by Monterey Bay Whale Watch This list, updated every few days, includes reported sightings from all boats in Monterey Bay. Sightings marked * were reported by other boats in the Monterey Bay area, including fishing, research, private and whale watch boats, as we keep track of all sightings in the Bay through our sighting network. California Sea Lions, Harbor Seals and Southern Sea Otters, which are seen on all whale watching trips, are not included in the list. Each month the sightings from the previous month are moved to a monthly summary list. These sightings are copyright protected and may not be used without permission from Nancy Black.
