In Brazil, economic growth causes rapid increases in marine transports. The impact of this increase on marine mammals, combined with the lack of legal enforcement, is potentially dangerous. Knowledge of vessel-dolphin interaction is essential to Brazilian marine ecology. The study of dolphin behavior can identify problems and support actions for conservation. Our principle aim was to study vessel-dolphin interactions and determine whether group and infant behaviors were being affected. Observations (600hs) were conducted in Pontal do Paraná and Guaraqueçaba (Southern Brazil), in 2010. We used a mixed method of \"focal-group sampling\" and \"sequential sampling\" for behavior records. Boats were classified according to engine type: central (...
