Ricky Greenhowe, a 52-year-old boat tour operator in Aberdeen, faces a £2,500 fine for disturbing dolphins and a pod of pilot whales. Despite his nine-year history with Aberdeen Harbour and Dolphin Cruises, he was convicted for two incidents last summer near Torry Battery. Greenhowe, known for his marine rescues, argues that one charge resulted from his attempt to free a tangled whale and prevent stranding. Hes launched a GoFundMe to cover legal fees, sparking a debate on the line between wildlife observation and protection.
