Marineland, Europe's First Marine Zoo, to Close Permanently on January 5, 2025, After 54 Years Due to 2021 Law
Dec 4, 2024, 11:10 AM
Marineland, the marine park in Antibes, is set to permanently close on January 5, 2025, due to a 2021 law prohibiting cetacean shows. This decision marks the end of 54 years of operation for the facility, which has been described as the first marine zoo in Europe. The park's management has cited the new legislation as the reason for the closure, which has raised concerns regarding the future of its orcas and other cetaceans. Local officials, including the mayor of Antibes, have expressed disappointment over the closure, viewing it as detrimental to the region. As the date approaches, discussions about the fate of the park's marine inhabitants are ongoing.
