!S@p Lions Boarded 'For Winter Season
i	By PAM RYAN

Ever wonder the fate of Gulfport Marine Life's Performing mammals? Retrieved by their trainer, Leroy Bah-ney, from many points along the Gulf Coast after surviving the killer Camille, they are in far better shape than
■	their former home. The tanks are full of filthy water in addition to being topless and damaged.
These precisely trained mammals are being boarded for the winter at Miami eaquarium in Florida.
Sent there about three weeks ago, the sea lions and porpoises are not only being fed and cared for by veterinarians at Seaquariam but their training is being continued.
When they are returned to Marine Life next spring, each will be trained to its peak of perfection. ’•They will be as good or better than ever,” according to Tom Lamberth, Marine Life owner.
Balancing acts by the sea lions and breathtaking double jumps and flips by the porpoises will resume as the Coast’s tourist attraction next spring as smoothly as if there had been no Camille, Lamberth said.
Marine Life officials said without this continued training, which cannot be provided at Marine Life at this time, tne mammals would, at best fall short of the rigid six-show a day schedule maintained in the past.
