Who knows, within time all cetaceans currently in captivity may even be released into the wild to be free as they should be!

There is another PBS film which says “a leading contender” for the dolphin sanctuary is a limestone quarry.

Oh No….
The sanctuary idea will lose credibility if dolphins move from a concrete tank to a limestone tank.

A limestone tank is scarcely better than the concrete tank they have now. It is not naturalistic. Acoustic animals need soft mud or vegetated surfaces to attenuate rather than echo their sounds.
