A PETITION AGAINST A CAPTIVE DOLPHIN FACILITY IN DISCOVERY BAY, JAMAICA Dear Readers, WHAT DOES THE CARIBBEAN HAVE A LOT OF? IT HAS A MONOPOLY OF COASTLINE ABUTTING THE VERY AMPLE CARIBBEAN SEA. IF WE CAN MANAGE OUR COASTS BETTER TO PROTECT FISHERIES AND WILD OCEAN LIFE, WE WILL BE A STRONGER, MORE RESPECTED PEOPLE. WHAT DOES CAPTIVITY DO TO DOLPHINS? Among the causes of death of cetaceans in captivity:.severe trauma, intestinal gangrene, acute hemorrhagic pneumonia, pulmonary abscession, chronic kidney disease, chronic cardiovascular failure, septicemia, influenza, necrosis of cerebrum. And so on. Few die of old age, and often the date of birth is unknown, anyway. WHAT WILL CAPTIVE DOLPHINS DO TO DISCOVERY BAY WHICH IS A FISH AND MARINE SANCTUARY? Scientific opinion is unanimous that nutrients from excreta in the limited circulation of the bay will do great harm to sea grass beds, coral reefs and fish. SAVE DISCOVERY BAY PETITION DRIVE SDB Petition is deceptive. It can seem like just another passing process that has no big picture Caribbean relevance. But that would not be (or entirely be) the case. It can be a driver of planning throughout the Caribbean TO HAVE A CARIBBEAN-WIDE MARINE SANCTUARY PROGRAM, PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTALLY PROGRESSIVE COASTAL GOVERNANCE FOR THE ENTIRE REGION. You can help greatly just by signing this one petition against a dolphinarium development in Discovery Bay, on Jamaica's famous north coast. It gives us a chance to BEGIN to protect (and project) our Caribbean interests, whether or not that was the original intention of the petition.     WE CAN BEGIN HERE TO INCREASE OUR COASTAL MANAGEMENT (and our international reputation).............  BY KINDLY SIGNING THIS PETITION https://www.change.org/p/ government-of-jamaica-please- withdraw-approval-of-dolphin- cove-for-discovery-bay- jamaica?recruiter=164249449& utm_source=share_petition&utm_ medium=facebook&utm_campaign= psf_combo_share_initial. pacific_abi_select_all_ contacts.select_all.pacific_ email_copy_en_gb_4.v1.pacific_ email_copy_en_us_3.control. pacific_post_sap_share_gmail_ abi.gmail_abi.pacific_email_ copy_en_us_5.v1.lightning_ share_by_medium_message. control.lightning_2primary_ share_options_more.control& utm_content=fht-13789879-en- gb%3Av5&fbclid= IwAR3USj83fb9vuktKubErBMANYSjd J_RVMMN_ YvLuyfzNf9rdmaJfo540zNw NOTE: - Our politicians are only empowered to turn back bad projects like dolphinaria if a great many citizens support them in doing so.
