MIAMI (AP) The Miami Seaquarium, an old-Florida style tourist attraction that was home to Lolita, the beloved Orca that died last year , is being evicted from the waterfront property it leases from Miami-Dade County.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava cited a long and troubling history of violations in a lease termination notice sent Thursday to the chief executive officer of The Dolphin Company, which owns the Seaquarium. The company was told to vacate the property by April 21, according to the letter from the mayors office.

They have been the subject of continuous violations, including decaying animal habitats, lack of veterinary staff and a lack of other experienced staff, Levine Cava said during a news conference Thursday.

Our number one priority continues to be the safety and wellbeing of the animals, the mayor said.
