SCDNR’s Tips for Being Dolphin and Manatee Friendly in South Carolina:

Report any wildlife violations to SCDNR’s 24/7 hotline: 1-800-922-5431
  • Use caution when navigating in shallow waters and tidal creeks.

  • Always heed "no wake" zones, operating boat at the lowest possible speed while maintaining steerage.

  • Never feed dolphins. This teaches animals to approach boats and docks, putting them at greater risk of a boat strike, and it is illegal. Do not dispose of fish carcasses when dolphins are nearby.

  • Never pursue, harass or interact with dolphins. It is dangerous for the animals and illegal.
  • Dock owners should never feed manatees or give them fresh water.

  • Never pursue, harass or play with manatees. It is bad for the manatees and is illegal.

  • Boaters should look around for manatees before cranking their boat’s motor and watch for large swirls in the water that may be caused by manatees diving away.

  • Heed “slow speed,” “no wake” signs, especially around docks. Use caution when navigating in shallow water and along the edge of a marsh.

  • Wear polarized sunglasses to reduce glare, making it easier to spot manatees below the surface.
