3. They were put there.
They're loving it. Leave them be. They're playing with the floats...

5. They are from Marine Life, in Gulfport. It's a very old outdoor style
aquarium, built in the 50s, that's right on the beach. The tanks are large concrete bunkers that survived Camille, but they were worried about waves spilling into them, so they moved the dolphins. I hope they made it--the storm surge was a lot higher than anyone dreamed possible.

If you saw the video of the destruction in Gulfport, with the church that was destroyed, Marine Life is roughly across the street from that.

I don't think that would be good for them.
