The Miami Seaquarium is facing scrutiny after a newly released U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection report revealed several alarming issues, including a sea lion with untreated cataracts refusing to eat and a dolphin with a two-inch nail in its throat. Another dolphin was found with a broken bolt in its mouth. These findings have prompted the Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department to investigate. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has issued a statement regarding the situation. Amidst these concerns, the Seaquarium has lost a key certification necessary for its Miami-Dade County lease but has announced intentions to remain open.
