PARSONS‡§ *Department of Recreation & Leisure Studies, Brock University, St. Catharines, ON, Canada †School of Hospitality & Tourism and New Zealand Tourism Research Institute, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand ‡Department of Environmental Science & Policy, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA §University Marine Biological Station Millport, Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland, UK Increasing popularity of marine parks as tourist attractions brought with it a number of concerns. Considerable attention has been paid to investigate issues, such as the ethics of keeping marine mam- mals in captivity, welfare of captive marine mammals, and the educational and conservational abili- ties of marine parks. Little research has been conducted to explore the public’s awareness and opin- ions of these issues. Public awareness is an important tool to understand the quality of a marine park’s products and services. This study was designed to investigate the public’s awareness of welfare of captive marine mammals, educational and conservational purposes of marine parks, and to examine public awareness and opinions of Dunlap and Van Liere’s New Environmental Paradigm. A total of 120 respondents from St. Catharines, Canada completed either a visitor or a nonvisitor questionnaire. Results indicated that most people were aware of the issues of welfare of captive marine mammals and educational opportunities offered by marine parks, but showed less awareness of the conserva- tional issues.
