Why contact with marine animals is prohibited in tourist areas The episode in which a tourist was fined R$10,000 for touching a sea turtle in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago reveals the importance of respecting conservation standards in environmentally protected areas. Touching or disturbing marine animals can transmit diseases, create stress in animals and compromise the species' energy balance, according to experts. Furthermore, Brazilian environmental legislation provides for sanctions for conduct that interferes with the habitat or natural behavior of fauna, reinforcing that safe and responsible observation is the only appropriate way to interact with marine life.
