Keiko's future is still uncertain because so little is known about whales in general and reintroducing them into the wild in particular.
One of the small shocking details is that there is a concern about water quality once a nearby fish farm is constructed. CNN's story lists the places Keiko may be moved to. It is very sad that even the Icelandic water may become unfit for a whale.
CNN has an update on Keiko. (http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/07/29/iceland.willy/index.html)
Keiko News Central seems to be an excellent site for news including Keiko facing relocation decision. (http://www.aquarium.org/keiko/)
Ocean Futures Society's KeikoWatch (http://www.oceanfutures.org) also has lot about Keiko including photos (http://www.oceanfutures.com/photopages/photographs.html). In June he played with members of a pod which included a wild whale who also has a bent dorsal fin. Ocean Futures is a merger of the Jean-Michel-Cousteau Institute and the Free Willy Keiko Foundation.
