  • relax he didnt even feed him i just saw him today and its a 500$ fine if you feed him

  • Feeding and attempting to feed wild dolphins is prohibited under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA) implementing regulations. The maximum civil penalty for violating the MMPA is $20,000; the maximum criminal fine is $25,000 and/or one year in jail.

  • Feeding wild dolphins is illegal because of scientifically documented harmful effects, including changing dolphins’ natural behavior, jeopardizing their health through ingestion of contaminated or inappropriate food and non-food items, and reducing their wariness of people and boats.

  • Dolphins then become vulnerable to injury or death from entanglement in fishing gear or boat strikes. Feeding wild dolphins may also increase the likelihood that dolphins will take bait and/or catch from recreational and commercial fishing gear. Further, feeding poses a significant safety risk to humans, as there are documented cases of people being bitten, hospitalized, and killed by wild marine mammals when attempting to feed and closely interact with them.

  • Please visit the “Don’t Feed Wild Dolphins” website for more information.

  • wow. Dolphins r awesome
