Abstract The effectiveness of an education program for tourists who hand-feed wild dolphins at Tangalooma, Moreton Island, in eastern Australia, was evaluated. Data were gathered on tourist behavior during feeding sessions before and after the education policy was implemented. Results demonstrated that, after implementation of the education program, inappropriate behaviors such as touching of dolphins were significantly reduced. The study supports the claim that education is an important strategy when compliance with management regulations is necessary to protect wildlife in ecotourism settings.
