General Note
Accompanying note: "Opened in 1965, Ocean World was located on the 17th Street Causeway adjacent to Pier 66 and featured Davy Jones' Locker, home to 'The Flying Dolphin Show,' as well as a dolphin feeding pool, California sea lions, otters, sea turtles, fish, alligators and tropical birds. However, the small marine mammal park later became the target of animal rights activists in the 1980s, which led to legal action from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (resulting in a $20,000 fine) and Ocean World ultimately closed its doors in 1994."
