Spain, Valencia, the “Dolphinarium” of “L'Oceanogràfic” at CAC, “Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias”, with a total of five pools, is the largest of its kind in Europe.

During my stay on the Caribbean island of Curaçao in the early 70th, I used to swim hours & play every day for almost one year with a dolphin "Bini" near the beach in 10 to about 15 mtr water depth open sea in the Piscadera Bay.

 

📌...I still believe, holding this sensitive, highly intelligent & playful dolphins, like others marine mammals in dolphinariums in sterile blue pools, without the at least a modelled natural biosphere of the sea, is like holding a big dog in a tiny one room apartment & never get him out, …on the other hand, the studies done in some dolphinariums are also very important.

 

📌...However, since dolphins of today's dolphinariums were born in captivity, they never knew & experienced their natural environment, neither living in large dolphin schools witch sizes varies from small groups & up to 800 or more aquatic mammals.

 

👉 One World one Dream,

🙏...Danke, Xièxie 谢谢, Thanks, Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Obrigado, Arigatô, Dhanyavad, Chokrane to you & over
