Florida's Department of Law Enforcement and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission conducted the search at the park following reports that four dolphins have died within a year, with the most recent death occurring this month. Allegations include dolphins living in unsanitary conditions, evidenced by drone footage revealing murky tank water. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has expressed a zero-tolerance stance on animal abuse, further intensifying scrutiny on the marine park. Activist organization UrgentSeas has highlighted persistent concerns about the park's conditions, asserting they will continue their advocacy until the animals are rescued. The park houses various marine life, including bottlenose dolphins, sea lions, and seals, prompting urgent calls for change and improved welfare standards for the creatures in their care.
