DOLPHINS

Dolphins are highly intelligent marine mammals. They are part of the family of toothed whales that includes orcas
and pilot whales. In Hawaii, dolphins have been a magnet for tourists over the past decade. Tourists swim with them
and have their photos taken. However, Hawaii might ban the tourist activity of swimming with dolphins. Officials say
tourism harms the dolphins because they cannot rest or socialize. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
wants to stop swimming with, or approaching within 50 metres of, dolphins. That may end many tour activities, such
as sailing alongside the dolphins and snorkelling with them. However, the NMFS says the ban will not have a big
impact on Hawaii’s tourist trade. They think that by identifying 50 metres as the minimum distance, there still can
be a viable tourist industry. But tour operators disagree. They say they cannot offer tourists the quality interaction
that they expect.
