It would like to relocate 30 belugas and four dolphins to aquariums in the United States.
NIAGARA FALLS - Marineland is looking to ship its captive whales and dolphins to several institutions in the United States.
The Niagara Falls theme park has presented a plan yesterday, labelling it as a "rescue solution" for the marine mammals in its care. The Canadian Press has cited several sources from Marineland saying Ottawa must meet the narrow deadline, or it will proceed with a plan to euthanize the 30 belugas and four dolphins.
The offices of Federal Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson has confirmed that the new permit applications are under review and says the process will be expedited.
Marineland has been closed to the public since the late summer of 2024.
