If you eat fish, make sure it was caught in a 'dolphin friendly' way. Bear in mind that some dolphin friendly fishing methods instead endanger seabirds and marine reptiles. |

Whale watching can help promote whale conservation by providing countries with additional tourism income. For example, the Dominican Republic makes millions of pounds a year from its ecotourism, an industry that was given a huge boost by the creation of the Silver Bank Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary. |
