Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) increase whistling in the presence of 'swim-with dolphin' tour operators
The impact of cetacean eco-tourism on subject animals is not clearly understood.

This study monitored whistle production in free ranging bottle dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) to evaluate if dolphins vocalise at different rates in response to commercial dolphin-swim boats
