| Abstract (English): |
Dolphin watching touristic activities can contribute both to the conservation of dolphins and to the development of the local economy. As a part of the management plan of the Coastal Wildlife Reserve of Tibau do Sul (Refauts), the present study aimed to evaluate Guiana dolphin watching activities. During the expeditions to the study area, interviews were conducted among boat drivers. The research also included censuses and inspections of licensed tourism boats, as well as a record of the dolphin watching touristic flow. Within a sample of 16 days of observation, a total of 11 licensed tourism boats operating in Refauts was registered, along with 368 observation tours and a 4,717 tourists. Results showed that - in 30% of the registries - boat drivers did not comply with the legal determinations for the Refauts area, which limit the number of boats operating in the bays. Results also show that Guiana dolphin watching activities in Refauts have played an important role in the development of the local economy, but an action plan is still necessary in order to ensure the conservation of Guiana dolphins in Refauts.

| Abstract (Portuguese): |
O turismo de observação de cetáceos (TOC) pode contribuir para a conservação destes e para o desenvolvimento econômico local. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o turismo de observação de botos-cinza, de forma a subsidiar o plano de manejo da Reserva Faunística Costeira de Tibau do Sul (Refauts). Durante as expedições à área de estudo, foram realizadas entrevistas com mestres de embarcação, censos e vistorias nas embarcações licenciadas e registro do fluxo do TOC. Foram registradas 11 embarcações licenciadas operando na Refauts, 368 passeios durante 16 dias de amostragem e um total de 4.717 turistas. Verificou-se, em 30% dos registros, que os mestres de embarcação não costumam cumprir a determinação prevista em lei quanto à limitação do número de barcos nas enseadas. Ainda sobre os resultados, vale mencionar que o TOC na Refauts vem desempenhando um papel importante na economia local, contudo é preciso que um plano de ação seja implantado, para assegurar a conservação do boto-cinza na Reserva.
