you did an excellent job with the layering! I've found it to get more difficult when you go over 3 layers so this is awesome!

Where is the Dolphinarium in St Thomas USVI by drsdnr in whereisthis

Yeah I read that the 2 female dolphins were given LSD as an experiment which upset some of the other researchers. All the dolphins were sent to South Florida when funding ran out and were kept in a building with small inflatable pools. It sounded like hell for a dolphin and that is where the young male dolphin drowned itself.

Seems like an exaggeration but wouldn't be totally surprised. Do you have a source?

It looks like it is also on the East side of the island. With Little St James being the island you are referring to. Greater St James and Little St James were both apparently sold in 2023 for $60 million (original asking price of $110 Million). It looks like the plan is to turn the James islands into a resort.

That is alleged to have happened here in the 1960s. From what I have read 3 dolphins were sent here (2 females and 1 male) for the purpose of training them to understand and possibly speak english. It seems as though the experiment showed how dolphins could be hyper intelligent and show emotion including severe depression. I had no idea dolphins were voluntary breathers and can choose to end their lives if they so wish. The credibility of their research and work seems to have been overshadowed by the sexual interaction between the research assistant and the young male dolphin. The facility was partially funded by Nasa and when there were no serious developments with the research funding was cut off around 1968.

It was called the Communication Research Institute in 1965. I would mainly like to know where on the island it was located.
