Thank you Mercedes!
It was just over 4 years ago that the Central Government imposed stricter guidelines and conditions on Dolphinariums in the Netherlands Antilles, in effect making Theo's dumb plan to build one in Great Bay doomed. Of course, once the island gets new status this may change, I suspect the plans are not gone for good and we may one day have to fight the fight all over again.
For now though, let's give thanks to those who helped stop those plans, especially Mercedes de Windt. And read the recent article below about Dolphins, they are so much smarter than most people think and should not in any way be exploited and imprisoned for entertainment and greed.
Deep thinkers - The more we study dolphins, the brighter they turn out to be.
