This subject does not appear to have been discussed or disputed enough on the forum. I have been to the building site where the Russian company are planning to build the dolphins pool and it is shockingly small. I know that every person that I have spoken with is against this dolphinarium. More action needs to be taken.
The dolphins will suffer from lack of space and the soundwaves they themselves create, bounce off the narrow sides of the small pool will drive them crazy as well as the soundwaves from the thumping music in Hisaronu into the early hours. There is also the issue of the water which they are to be kept in. They need extremely specialist pool equipment to clean the water as there is no natural salt. They should have large holding pens which there does not appear to be.
This situation is atrocious. The world dolphin association has arranged to meet with the governers in Mugla regarding this. I personally have been to visit the Olu Deniz Belediye to state that all local residents that I have spoken with are gainst this venture.
I hope that everyone reading this has the same view as have and I am sure that there are many strong feelings. I think that very soon there should, or will, be some kind of protest physically and I hope that local people will support this.
