The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) department of the USDA is supposed to conduct routine inspections of maine mammal parks. The Miami-Dade Building Authority is supposed to conduct regular inspections regarding building and safety hazards. The Fire Marshal is supposed to conduct regular inspections regarding emergency, safety, and fire hazards. The reality is, none of these organizations has done their job in years. The Seaquarium is rarely inspected by any of the above and usually only when public concern arises and complaints are filed with said organizations.
