 I am hereby requesting a current Marine Mammal Inventory Report for the Miami Seaquarium.

 Due to recent research I believe that the care and maintenance provided to marine mammals and their enclosures is inadequate and not sufficiently enforced.  This is in a big part due to facilities not submitting information about the animals to the Marine Mammal Inventory Report.  With facilities withholding crucial information such as birth rates, death rates, and the movement of animals between facilities, services such as yours blind to what is going on.  This makes it nearly impossible to implement current laws and regulations regarding caring for marine mammals in captivity and monitoring their enclosures and health properly.   So please take the next step and request that the Miami Seaquarium provide you with a current Marine Mammal Inventory Report (MMIR) as soon as possible.  

 Sincerely,
