Got to reading after visiting Klettsvik Bay, where Keiko was harbored for rehab and release.

Timeline of life events, compiled by cofounder of the Orca Network. Both informative and fascinating.

September 12, 2002: Miami Seaquarium applies for a permit to capture Keiko and bring him to their tank in Miami, which is smaller than the tank he was saved from in Mexico City.
