| Abstract: | The authors report on stakeholder perspectives relating to tourism development and potential management of the Hamelin Bay site. Visitors on average gave their experience with the rays a satisfaction value of 8.9 out of 10. 25 % of visitors surveyed did not want commercialisation, tour groups or excessive visitor numbers. Their main concern was that the health and safety of the rays may deteriote with an increase of visitors if the situation is not managed correctly. |
