ABSTRACT
In the spring of 2018, people on the beach of the popular Egyptian resort Dahab accidentally witnessed an amazing event—the birth of a child into the Red Sea—which became famous thanks to the photos published in Cosmopolitan magazine. Many Soviet people were inspired by these ideas, despite the fact that they sounded like science fiction, and no babies were actually breastfed by dolphins. In 1986, the first ocean birth took place in Crimea: a girl, named Eya, was born to the Bagryansky family. In 1988, Charkovsky’s follower Marina Dadasheva assisted in a water birth in a maternity hospital in the Siberian city of Tomsk. The importance of water birth in the Aquaculture concept was crucial. For many years in Russia, home birth meant water birth and water birth meant home birth.
