Off the coast of Georgia...they are having a problem with "beggar dolphins". Sport Fisherman have been feeding the local dolphins, and some of them are now conditioned now to hang around fishing boats for handouts.

Been feeding dolphins ever since the first fisherman in a dugout tossed back bycatch.. That is how they associate food with boats, but I don't buy the argument that this "endangers" them. They just know a good deal when they see it.
The shrimpboats, longlines, etc. Commercial fishermen toss tons more than any sport fisherman or recreational boaters do.
