You may be causing stress to the animals as FFAIZJ has posted. I work on a whale-watching vessel and I have even worked a bit at a marine mammal rescue center. They are extremely sensitive to sound and need at least a 100 to 150 yard buffer zone between them and you when your engines are still running. Tail lobbing and pectoral fin slapping at the surface can be signs of aggression. If you are to get that close, shut your engines off at 150 yards. Make slow approaches and departures at idle.
What rubbish your talking about research your distressing the whale you cannot understand that the whale is flipping his or her tail, showing to you are distressing the animal. What understanding you have with your research. It is a sad video.
