FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 The Whale Sanctuary Project has selected part of Nova Scotia's coast as a spot for a seaside sanctuary, over other regions in Canada and the US. The charity will be working with local municipalities to bring about eight whales to the region permanently. The Whale Sanctuary Project was seeking a sheltered area with around 100 acres water - about a fifth the size of Monaco - with depths reaching 15 meters (50 feet). It also had to have specific temperature ranges and water salinity, and protection from extreme weather, room for facilities needed to care for the animals, and place to host for educational activities. The charity hopes to see six to eight belugas, and possibly some orcas, permanently residing in the cove - cetaceans that have been born into and held in captivity and can't be released fully into the wild. The Baltimore National Aquarium is also looking for a site to create a sanctuary for their Atlantic bottlenose dolphin colony.
