FKWDA

The FKWDA is a coalition of Key West-based marine eco-tour owner-operators, formed in 1997. The FKWDA represents a small, but growing, group of locally established captain-guides, who offer boat excursions for viewing wild dolphins in the waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. FKWDA members pride themselves on providing respectful, ecologically oriented tours. Many FKWDA members have long served to protect the dolphins of the lower Keys, and we seek to further efforts towards achieving conservation goals. To certify our dedication and guide our actions, members agree to abide by our Code of Ethics and Operator Guidelines... FKWDA members use six-passenger boats for eco-tours of the lower Florida Keys, focusing on observation of wild dolphins in their natural habitat. Dolphins are always approached safely and conscientiously. FKWDA captains take extreme care not to harass dolphins in any way. This includes no interruption of any dolphin or dolphins during their feeding,..
