Activities, motivations and disturbance: An agent-based model of bottlenose dolphin behavioral dynamics and interactions with tourism in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand.

Highlights: [•] We developed an agent-based model to simulate tourism effects on dolphin behavior. [•] The model generated a realistic representation of dolphin and boat dynamics. [•] This predictive tool could be used to support effective management. [•] We investigated model parameterization by fitting the dolphin submodel to data. [•] Traditional visual data were not sufficient to inform such agent-based models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
