Are there any laws that protect marine mammals?

Yes! The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 protects these animals from harassment by humans. It is even against the law to feed or touch wild dolphins. The intentional killing of marine mammals in the course of fishing operations is prohibited by law. Shooting of a marine mammal could result in a fine of $20,000 or a year in jail.
