Question

is there any justification for different types of marine mammal captivity (research, military, marine prks/aquariums, resorts, swim with dolphin programs etc.)?

Answer 1

Answer :

• The marine mammals are best seen in their natural coastal and ocean environment instead of being held captive simply to entertain people.
• Marine mammals do breed in captivity, but the birth rate in captivity is not as successful as in wild.
• Captivity shortens animal life span, not increasing them.
• But there are some reasons to kept or held marine mammals captive.

1. Aquaria and Dolphinaria can help to the conservation of species.
2. Marine mammals in captivity can foster research and scientific study of marine mammals.
