Wild dolphin feeding
The citation you provided about the wild dolphin feeding contains no specific criticism about Tangalooma (other than to note that wild dolphin feeding occurs there). The cited web page clearly doesn't approve of wild dolphin feeding in general, but it is not clear to me even on that topic if it is a WP:reliable source. A scan of the website reveals little information on who is publishing the website and what their credentials in relation to wild dolphin feeding (clearly they are an advocacy group of some kind). There are various links coming from the webpage you cited but when I dig into them, some of them seem not relevant at all. For example in the paragraph about Tangalooma there is a link to a paper entitled "Impacts and risks associated with developing, but unsupervised, stingray tourism at Hamelin Bay, Western Australia", which is about neither Tangalooma nor dolphins. The webpage often talks about research but rarely links to it. If you have a more specific citation from a reliable source about Tangalooma, please add it (I'm not trying to defend what Tangalooma does, but equally I don't think we can criticise it with this as a citation).
