A group of 33 swimmers are being investigated after they were allegedly caught “aggressively pursuing, corralling, and harassing” a pod of dolphins in Hawaii Sunday, according to the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Drone footage showed a group of snorkelers harassing the dolphins by going after them in any direction the helpless mammals tried to swim in the waters off Hōnaunau Bay near Hawaii’s Big Island.
Officers from the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DO-CARE) were on a routine check in the South Kona District when they came across the group of swimmers.
The swimmers were told by DO-CARE about the violation and were immediately investigated by “uniformed officers” once they got out of the water, Land and Natural Resources said in a press release.
