Variety of answers including:
- habituation to humans which leads to worse problems (begging, getting hit by boats, hook ingestion, increased reliance on easy meals)

Level A harassment: any act of pursuit, torment, or annoyance that has the potential to injure a marine mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild.

Level B harassment: acts that have the potential to disturb (but not injure) a marine mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild by disrupting behavioral patterns, including, but not limited to, migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, feeding, or sheltering.
