Six of the thirty belugas from Marineland have been rescued and airlifted to safety.

Marineland of Canada, a closed marine park near Niagara Falls, is unable to care for its 30 beluga whales due to financial issues, prompting a rescue effort led by various aquariums. Six whales have already been relocated to the U.S. with further transfers planned across multiple facilities, including SeaWorld and Shedd Aquarium. The process has involved specialized logistics and veterinary support, ensuring the whales’ well-being during transport. The aim is to complete the relocation of all whales by August, marking a significant collaborative effort in animal rescue.
