Moving ocean organisms to zoos for entertainment provides more negatives than positives for their natural habitats. While relocated animals may feel more secure with ample food and no threats, the artificial environment cannot replicate their natural ecosystem and restricting their movement and habits increases stress and health issues. When an ocean creature cannot adapt, it often dies, as seen with a dolphin in Bali that passed after two years in a confined pool. Ultimately, the risks of an unnatural environment outweigh any benefits, so ocean organisms are best left in their natural habitats where they can live as intended.

Recently, there is a possibility to transfer the ocean organism to the rehabilitation
place such as zoo for entertaining purpose. I notice that this phenomenon gives more negative results for natural habitat than the positive one. Firstly, relocation place cannot be the same as the natural ecosystem in the sea, even thought people are already trying to make the appropriate pool for sea animal. The basic habit of sea animals is moving freely, fighting for life, and looking for foods by themselves, and those activities are restricted when animals stay in an amusement park. Then, losing a basic habit of sea animals not only affects the level of stress but also for a long time decrease the quality of animal life, such as sick and thin animals. As a worst result, ocean creatures who cannot adapt with the new habitat would die out. This case happened in a hotel, located in Bali Indonesia in the year 2019, a dolphin suddenly died after lived more than 2 years in a pool as a relocation place which is prepared for recreation purpose. On the other hand, sometimes, the sea animals feel more secure when they move to amusement parks because they get the enough foods from the instructor or keeper. Moreover, the animals do not have a threat from other fierce animals that can intimidate them while looking for foods or just swimming. As another function, their appearance can entertain people and improve the happiness of the visitors. But, this is not the best way to protect the ocean habitat because the risk is higher while the organization cannot understand how to maintain the proper pool temperature, the cleanness, and the appropriate foods. In conclusion, even though the ocean organism has a chance to live in a relocation pool, but the best for this creature is living in natural habitat because animals can act as their natural habit. Therefore, the drawbacks outweigh the benefit for numerous reasons.
