| Abstract |
Ecotourism boats could indeed be harming dolphins and whales, for example by interrupting their foraging behaviour (see Nature 512, 358; 2014). But many whale-watchers do right by the animals and follow good practice. The major threats to cetaceans are still hunting, fishing, military sonar, undersea explosives and pollution. |
