Seven Seas — Attraction in Riverside Township

Aquariums have made significant strides in recent years by no longer requiring dolphins and other marine animals to perform tricks in potentially stressful and confined conditions. In their natural habitats, bottlenose dolphins are known to swim extensive distances, reaching up to 60 miles a day and diving to depths of nearly 1,500 feet. However, facilities like SeaWorld and Seven Seas keep many of these majestic creatures in relatively small tanks, limiting their ability to swim freely, dive deeply, or escape from social tensions with other dolphins.

Research indicates that confinement in smaller environments can lead to various health challenges, including dental issues from grinding their teeth against concrete and metal, as well as stress-related behaviors such as pacing and agitation.
