It is has been said that play is a great expression of intelligence, and whales and dolphins are gold medallists in this field! Pods of dolphins leap, tumble, back flip and spin together; and there is often no explicable reason for their behaviour other than pure social enjoyment. Dolphins will race towards boats to surf in the bow wave or play in the wake performing amazing acrobatics. Why? Well, wouldn't you if you could? Some dolphins seek out big waves breaking close to shore and ride the waves alongside surfers, other dolphins prefer to play with plants or shells or other make-shift toys.

Cruise to Blue Lagoon Island on a sleek double-decker ferry for an up-close encounter with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins at an American Humane-certified facility. Upon arriving at the island, which is also known as Salt Cay, you will first learn about the characteristics and behavior of dolphins, such as how they communicate and use echolocation to hunt prey. Once in the water, you will stand on a waist-deep submerged platform that allows easy access to these highly intelligent marine mammals. A trainer will be on hand to recommend the best ways to interact with and touch the dolphins. You can expect an unforgettable experience as dolphins are naturally curious and social. During the two hours or so of beach time that follows, you might settle into a lounge chair and bask in the sun, take a refreshing swim, and snorkel in the turquoise sea. There are also shops in the Bahamian village nearby.
Enjoy a once in a lifetime experience in this 20- minute program in deep water, hugging, kissing, dancing, feeding, and swimming with dolphins. The highlight of the swim is an amazing ride through the lagoon using a boogie board.
(i) Stress effects and cow-calf separationBased on its literature review, the Final Science Report found that "[t]he operations involved in catching tuna associated with dolphins are well-recognized stressors in other mammals, particularly wild animals ..." Id. at 5573. Some of these effects include muscle damage, an effect that can be exacerbated by release of hormones associated with fear. Id. "The resulting syndrome, commonly referred to as capture myopathy, can be manifested within hours or days, and can cause symptoms ranging from minor temporary effects ... to massive muscle damage and death ..." Id. (emphasis in original). The literature also identifies "psychosocial stressors" that may be encountered during fishing operations, such as "disruption of foraging and social activity, fragmentation of social bonds," and so forth which can influence "metabolism, growth, reproduction, and immune status, and therefore can significantly alter the survival and reproductive success of an individual." Id. Given the literature on stress, the Report concludes that it is "plausible that stress resulting from chase and capture could compromise the health of at least some of the dolphins involved." Id. at 5510, 5573.
