Human pulled along by captive dolphin
The popularity of swimming with dolphins increased in the 1980s and 1990s, occurring in over 65 countries,[1] both as a form of therapy as well as a tourist activity.[1][2] Proponents of dolphin-assisted therapy (DAT) say that interacting with dolphins can help to treat mental and physical disorders in humans, but there is limited clinical evidence proving its benefits.[3][4] Marine parks and other tourist destinations offering "swim-with-dolphin" experiences have also promoted the purported healing attributes of dolphins.[5] Opponents argue that interactions between humans and dolphins have had a negative impact on dolphin populations both in the wild and in captivity,[6] and that the practice can be dangerous for humans.[4] Concerns over animal welfare have led to bans on swimming with dolphins in Costa Rica,[7] as well as certain locations in New Zealand and Hawaii.[6][8]
