"[Trudie] Prior said in next few weeks, the sea lions will be ready to receive visitors to play and swim with them. She said the cost will be in the neighborhood of $100, comparable to dolphin swims in Tortola and other marine parks." :X

I called and tried to get my daughter's name on the list but they are not accepting sign-ups yet. I'm sure there will be a local discount?

There was an issue about sea lion 'waste', correct?

Usually with this type of attraction the "discord" is twofold. For some the issue is the living conditions of the animals. For others it is the ethics/morality of taking these animals out of their natural element and subjecting them to the unnatural life of performer, especially when they are put in physical contact with the paying public. Most controversy surrounds wild dolphins being captured and used in this way..
