An experimental, precautionary scheme is proposed by which limited underwater dolphin watching is permitted in Samadai reef under strict management and control measures. Key to the success of the operation will involve: (a) the zoning of the reef to devote a sanctuary area to the exclusive use of the dolphins; (b) the use of experienced guides; ad (c) a careful monitoring programme. The described effort is suggested as a pioneering experiment opening the way to the development of an innovative approach to tourism based on sustainability, responsibility and the offer of extraordinary naturalistic experiences.
