A researcher has developed an iPad app to help people protect Hawaii dolphins.
?? ?
West Hawaii Today reports the free application teaches people how to enjoy the animals responsibly from a distance.
?? ?
The Naia Guide's website explains spinner dolphins go to shallow, sandy-bottom bays during the day to seek protection from predators found in deeper waters.
?? ?
But tourists frequent these same bays. Snorkelers often surround the dolphins, grab the animals and ride on their dorsal fins.? This deprives dolphins of the rest they need.
?? ?
Demi Fox created The Naia Guide app in part to fulfill her master's degree in environmental management at Duke University's School of the Environment.
?? ?
To download it, go to Apple's App Store or http://naiaguide.org.
?? ?
The app is only available on the iPad, not the iPhone.
