St. Thomas Laboratory 1960-1968
St. Thomas, US
Virgin Islands. The
laboratory of the the
Communications
Research Institute
Here the conditons for
human/dolphin co-
existance
were created.
The pool is a
sea-fed, sea water
pool fed by the
waves-- brought
in through a
wave-ramp, flooding
the balcony of the
lab to a depth of
18 inches.
Below the balcony
is the main dolphin
living space.
The water changes
every two hours,
and as you can
see, the dolphins
are quite happy.
