The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection notes the following on dolphins in the state's waters: "Long Island Sound is home to seals, sea turtles and migrating shore birds and is occasionally visited by dolphins, porpoises and whales. It is important to enjoy wildlife from a distance. It is illegal to touch, feed, disturb, harass, capture or kill marine mammals and sea turtles. Many of these species are vulnerable to crippling or fatal collisions with powerboats and interaction with fishing gear."
