In a bubble zone, if we're fishing and killer whales are present, we have to pick up our gear and move at least 1,000 metres or 1 kilometre away—and that's everybody. When the pod of whales has gone through, we go back to fishing. Whereas, when we have static closure, it means this whole area is out of bounds, whether the whales are there or not. It's simply out of bounds. Washington state has adopted the bubble zone, which they find works really well: If there are killer whales present, you pick up your gear and go. You generally know when killer whales are present because the whale-watching boats are there.
