Speaking of sea-pen sanctuaries for currently captive cetaceans... there is a well-planned proposal and a wealth of information on how to bring Lolita home to her family pod. Lolita is the lone orca surviving at the Miami Seaquarium. Retiring Lolita to a sea pen in the waters of her birth, with the eventual option of freely ranging in the waters where she was raised by her family, is not highly problematic, but support from the activist and scientific community could make a lot of difference by widening and strengthening a support system to build confidence in the plan to make it happen. If we can make it happen, and she can be seen by the public responding with good health and vigor in her native waters as she explores her old neighborhood, the new public acceptance of the sea pen concept will expedite the scientific community's ability to figure out how to retire the SeaWorld orcas and other dolphin species.
