They are in very bad conditions, small dirty pool and there is a growing force of opposition to move them and expose any violation of the governmental legislation. See photo on link below

Please join the growing force of opposition against the captive dolphin industry which makes millions by imprisoning these beautiful creatures who should NEVER be in captivity as their natural habitat is so wide ranging.

We have started a campaign called TAT ( Tourists against Trash) where we ask our guests to fill a brown paper bag with waste plastic they find. The guests can then talk to local people about why they are collecting the waste plastic and ask about recycling facilities. When I was clearing a beach which fronted a fish restaurant in the local city, the owner came running out saying”what are you doing?” I said I was preserving the marine life of the red sea as plastic waste in the sea creates many problems and could result in less fish for his guests! 5 minutes later he sent his kitchen staff out to clear the beach.

MOTTO “ Tourists are agents of change as the locals want to keep the tourists happy, so they will comply with tourist wishes”
