For over 50 years, Lolita the Southern resident orca has lived in an oceanarium in Miami.

For years, people have worked to bring her home, to no avail.

But that changed on Thursday, when the Miami Seaquarium made its first public commitment to return Lolita home.

Linda Robertson of the Miami Herald along with the leaders of the Whale Sanctuary and Sacred Seas Land Conservancy are here to tell us what has changed and what Lolita’s future might hold.
