A Maui man who refers to himself as “Dolphin Dave” on social media was cited this week for allegedly harassing an adolescent humpback whale and dolphins at Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park, the Department of Land and Natural Resources said.
After arriving at the area early Monday, officers recorded Jiménez chasing a group of spinner dolphins, the agency said.— a law that prevents the harassment, hunting, capturing or killing of these animals.
Jiménez was cited Monday for “prohibited acts in regard to endangered whale species” and “harassing wildfire in a state park,” DLNR said.Facebook pageJiménez allegedly told officers that he isn’t going to stop swimming with whales and dolphins because “it’s magical and others do much worse things,” DLNR said.
Dan Dennison, a DLNR spokesperson, told SFGATE this is the first time the division became aware of Jiménez. He said if Jiménez continues to swim with the animals, officers will take “appropriate action.”
