Crisis at Gulf World Marine Park: Dolphins moved amidst controversy and bankruptcy

All of the dolphins have now been relocated from Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach, Florida to other facilities. So what’s happening now?

Five dolphin deaths in less than a year, scathing inspection reports, public outcry, and footage released of green water with algae in the dolphin tanks led political leaders and government officials to work swiftly in getting the dolphins out of the park. A chaotic bankruptcy on behalf of the park’s owners at The Dolphin Company, operated in Cancun, Mexico, led to delays with the relocation.
