Frances and I traveled to Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary, which is located in the nearby coastal community of Cabuya. The sanctuary cares for and tries to rehabilitate injured mammals, birds and reptiles.]]></description>

Bruce was just coming off the water after a paddle up the Rio Panica with the family of Tambor Tropical’s manager, Juan Carlos Cruz, and all were expressing their sadness at having just seen the torso of a large “cocodrilo” ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seascape will return to Costa Rica and open its southern base Nov. 16. Today’s blog is adapted from an article by Jennifer Harter of Santa Teresa:

"Playa Quesera, is definitely amongst the most unspoiled beaches I’ve visited in Costa Rica, creating a surreal castaway feel. This place is a true gem, a small cove of white sand and the most intensely toned waters, surrounded by yellowish stone walls and remarkable rock formations. As Frances and Bruce set up our picnic, we were free to help, explore, photograph or swim. I couldn’t believe we were on the Pacific Coast; I felt like we had just arrived on a secluded Caribbean cove...."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["You know, we often get porpoise following fish into these weirs,” the fisherman said. I replied that I knew about this and had helped release several harbor porpoise from the Iris weir in the front of Seascape’s base. 

“At first this pissed me off, you know,” he continued. “Lots of extra work to get these fellas out of the nets. Then one time I grabbed one innocently by the tail and all of a sudden the porpoise went limp..."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s blog comes from Laurice D. Nemetz, who works as a yoga teacher and dance/movement therapist throughout Westchester County in New York. Lauri was the instructor on El Espiritu del Mar, Seacape’s pilot yoga and paddling trip in Costa Rica, and on Ebb &#038; Flow, the first yoga/kayak combo on Deer Island in the Bay of Fundy. We are planning yoga and sea kayaking trips with her for 2010 January 9-17 and May 14-22 in Costa Rica, and August 6-9 in New Brunswick.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This time of year is spectacular for wildlife viewing in the Bay of Fundy. Butterflies are careening around the rose bushes outside my window as I write this and I can hear an osprey’s warning cry overhead. Not only are huge pods of Harbour Porpoises circling our groups daily, as if on cue, but whale sightings by paddlers not too far from our base are becoming less and less rare.

I was recently assigned to write about Seascape’s “signature moment” for a new program called “Inner Journeys” that we were invited to be a part of by New Brunswick Tourism and Parks. I think wildlife lovers anywhere will enjoy the result.]]></description>

My recent trip with Seascape Kayak Tours to the Bay of Exploits has to rank among my favorite kayaking experiences. The Seascape kayak experience offers something I have never encountered before...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three separate proposals to build gargantuan marine terminals on the Maine shoreline have threatened to turn the traditional tourism, fishing and aquaculture economy near Deer Island into an industrial zone fraught with the emission of six tons of greenhouse gases and toxic chemicals on a daily basis. Gigantic tankers, each accompanied by a gunboat to protect the potentially hazardous cargo, could soon change the land and seascapes for tour operators, fishermen and fish farmers who depend on the pristine nature of the area. 

“These massive boats would have a devastating effect on the wildlife in the area and the presence of this huge offloading facility in our backyard would have an enormous environmental impact,” said Bruce Smith. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday it was cold and drizzly on Deer Island, but today the sun is showing its face, seabirds are calling across the Bay, and it’s beginning to look a lot more like summer. Soon, more and more visitors will arrive on the island as we gear up for the high season of July and August, when we’ll be running several trips per day.

Seascape’s tours take visitors past a series of herring weirs, a traditional method of fishing traced to the ancient Passamaquoddy Tribe that . . . ]]></description>
