St. Augustine - Three dolphins calves have been born at Marineland in St. Augustine in the last two months.

Marineland's director of marine mammals Chad Stouffer says the total number of dolphins at the facility is now 14.

The two males and one female now give the Dolphin Conservation Center a range from the youngest to oldest dolphins in captivity. Nellie was born at Marineland 55 years ago.

Stouffer says the dolphins don't have names yet.

Marineland is the world's first oceanarium, where tourists can now swim, pet and feed dolphins.

Marineland is located on a spit of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Florida highway A1A.
