<P> In 2012, the beluga whale Maris gave birth to a female calf . After less than a week, the calf, who was born underweight, died . Although mortality rates of calves born to first time mothers is extremely high, even in wild populations, Maris's second calf--born on Mother's Day in 2015--would survive less than a month . Maris herself died in October of the same year, reigniting the debate as to whether the captive beluga breeding program was humane or successful . </P> <P> In 2015, the aquarium applied to import 18 belugas from Russia; it had previously placed an order for their capture and planned to send them on breeding loans to partnered parks such as Shedd Aquarium and SeaWorld, though SeaWorld ultimately opted out of the agreement . However, the permit was denied by the National Marine Fisheries Service, prompting Georgia Aquarium to sue . In September 2015, a federal district court ruled that "Georgia Aquarium failed to demonstrate that its permit would not result in the taking of additional animals beyond those authorized by the permit", and that the denial would stand . </P> <Ul> <Li> <P> Aerial view of the aquarium </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Guests observe Navy divers as they dive in a tank at the Aquarium </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Whale shark in the viewing theater </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Cuttlefish at the aquarium </P> </Li> <Li> <P> The petting tank featuring bonnethead sharks and cownose rays </P> </Li> <Li> <P> The Ocean Voyager exhibit tunnel </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Ocean Voyager exhibit tunnel </P> </Li> </Ul> <Li> <P> Aerial view of the aquarium </P> </Li>
