Next, we dive into the water with dolphins in hawaii, for what could be a final swim. Swimming with dolphins is a popular tourist activity in hawaii. That could be coming to an end.

Reporter we were with the tour group tracking hawaiian spinner dolphins off the west coast of hawaii. Pretty close to 100 dolphins t the Hawaiian Island are one of the few places, you can get this close to them. Native to hawaii, these spinner dolphins are a smaller species about 4 feet long. Theyre social animals known for their acrobatic behaviors. In the water they seem curious, and approach us, several swim right underneath. Just hang out in the group. You guys dont push towards them. But our guide, jenna morris is serious about keeping our distance. You dont actually want people touching the dolphins. No. I think the hardest singlehandedly, hardest part of moo is job is managing expectations that people have. Current law prohibits harassing dolphins but doesnt limit how close you can get to them. Man have taken advantage. Online videos show swimmers frolicking and trying to pet them. I do think this human activity is raising their stress levels. Biologist ann garrett says theyre nocturnal and feed at night and come to the shore to rest, and the tour bets are a disturbance. What we are seeing their rest times are shortening. The dolphins were concerned with not feeding as well, maybe too tired to do the foraging they need to and are not nurturing their young in the same way they ought to. Garrett says over time this could lead to decrease in the population, noa is now proposing changes to the current law that would keep people and bets at least 50 yards from the dolphins. Is it unusual for them to come right up to you . No, dolphins are curious by nature. Reporter one of the many tour operators against the proposed rule. He says it would be difficult to keep the dolphins away from the bets and hard for tourists to see them at that distance. Which could hurt business. But he agrees there are too many tours, and not every tour company its following the rules. We are all making a living. We need to protect it. We need to make sure that we are responsible. How we are viewing these animals. I dont think the tourists are hunting them right now. As long as everyone listens. Reporter sabrina and her daughter try to swim with the dolphins when they visit hawaii. This time may be their last. What is it about getting up so close to the dolphins that is so special . Just being in nature and in its pure form. You get to see them do their thing. It is just beautiful. Reporter carter evans, cbs news, hawaii. Thats the overnight news for this monday.
