Maintain distance
Approaching a dolphin closely disturbs its natural behaviour and may interrupt feeding, socialising or resting. Dolphins are curious and it is fine if they choose to approach water users. Do not feed dolphins as this makes them vulnerable to boat strike and fishing entanglements.
Do not feed
Dolphins are wild animals. Touching, feeding and approaching dolphins is illegal and can be very harmful to them.
Reel in fishing lines
Fishing line and debris can be dangerous for dolphins and other wildlife.
• Please reel in lines if dolphins are close.
• Dispose of fishing lines and rubbish properly.

Why feeding dolphins is harmful to them
One of Tiffany’s calves, Star died due to multiple fishing line entanglements. People began feeding Star which encouraged her to spend time around boats and people fishing.
Dolphins that are fed often display begging behaviour and stop socialising with other dolphins. Dolphins are great at catching their own fish. It is important that they are not fed and that they continue their natural behaviours.
