Please Help Our Dolphins
Logging (resting)
When resting, dolphins will often move very slowly, almost motionless on the surface of the water. They are conscious breathers and only rest one half of their brain at a time. They may look like a floating log and may be difficult to see. Please slow down on the water, look out for dolphins and maintain distance.
Do not feed
Dolphins are wild animals. Touching, feeding and approaching dolphins is illegal and can be very harmful to them.
Reel in fishing lines
Fishing line and debris can be dangerous for dolphins and other wildlife.
• Please reel in lines if dolphins are close.
• Dispose of fishing lines and rubbish properly.

How do dolphins sleep?
Dolphins only close one eye when they sleep; the left eye will be closed when the right half of the brain sleeps, and vice versa.
This type of sleep is known as unihemispheric sleep as only one brain hemisphere sleeps at a time. Dolphins alternate which half of the brain is sleeping periodically so that they can get the rest they need without ever losing consciousness.
