Environmentalists raise safety concerns

ISLAMADURA, Fla. — A rule allowing people to swim with captive dolphins is being examined by federal officials who think it might harm the dolphins while benefiting some people, from athletes to the disabled.

In the Florida Keys, home of three of the nation's four dolphin swim parks, supporters say that the programs give humans a better understanding of dolphins and that they are not protected against overexposure to people.
But some environmental groups say the contact with untrained people could be dangerous and claim too little is known about the transmission of diseases and effects on the dolphins' natural behavior.

Both views were expected to be heard yesterday in Islamorada at a public hearing called by the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is responsible for regulating the dolphin swim programs.
The dolphins do not seem ill-affected by the interaction with
A series of hearings was called to help update the policy before the programs' permits expire March 31, said Jeff Brown, a fisheries biologist based in St. Petersburg. A draft environmental impact statement was filed on applications for the programs, ranging from abolition to expansion.
humans, said Jeanne Burns, a spokeswoman at the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key.
Besides satisfying curious tourists, the non-profit center has conducted studies that indicate swimming with dolphins helps the learning process of emotionally and mentally disabled children and may improve the performance of competitive swimmers.
The center, whose 5-year-old swim program is the nation's oldest, allows 16 people a day in the dolphin tanks for 15 minutes, five days a week.
"Some dolphins in tanks with other dolphins actually want to get into the tank with the humans," she said. "There doesn't seem to be any problem."
Laura Rubin, spokesman for the environmental group Greenpeace, expressed concern for the treatment of the dolphins.
“It’s one of those wonderful things that pull on your heart strings, but we have to be careful with programs such as these,” Rubin said in interview.
Bottlenosed dolphins, the species favored for the swim programs, were devastated in recent years by mysterious mass deaths along the Atlantic coast.
Rubin said Greenpeace was worried that dolphins could injure swimmers by their superior size or by biting, which could be a sign of playfulness or sexual activity.
