Abstract

The article discusses the challenges faced by whales and dolphins in marine parks and aquariums, highlighting the stress and confinement they experience in captivity. It emphasizes the establishment of the Whale Sanctuary Project, which aims to create natural, seaside sanctuaries for retired cetaceans, with the first sanctuary planned for Port Hilford Bay, Nova Scotia. This sanctuary will provide a more natural environment for orcas and belugas, allowing them to engage in behaviors similar to those in the wild, while still receiving care from humans. The project has undergone extensive research to ensure the site is suitable for the whales, and construction is set to begin, with hopes of welcoming its first residents by late summer 2026.
