  Baby beluga dies at Spain marine park - Boston.com
A baby beluga whale born in a Spanish marine park -- the first beluga whale born in captivity in Europe -- has died at the age of 25 days, officials said Tuesday.
Because of her inexperience, Yulka was unable to nurse her infant and stopped producing milk -- despite efforts by aquarium staff to pump milk from her mammary glands, said Pablo Areitio, director of biology, and Daniel Garcia, chief veterinarian at the marine park.
While marine park staff were dismayed at the infant's death, it was not entirely unexpected, the statement said.

  Marine park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A marine park is a park consisting of an area of sea (or sometimes a lake) sometimes protected for recreational use, but more often set aside to preserve a specific habitat and ensure the ecosystem is sustained for the organisms that exist there.
A theme park featuring sea life may be a sort of combination of marine park, public aquarium, and zoo, with a variety of animals kept inside, outside in enclosed tanks, or outside in the sea, fenced in order to keep them from wandering off.
Although for many uses it is sufficient to designate the boundaries of the marine park and to inform commercial fishing boats and other maritime enterprises, some parks have gone to additional effort to make their wonders accessible to visitors.
