Canada’s Whale Sanctuary Gives Former Captive Whales a Place to Heal | Happy Eco News

Canada’s whale sanctuary in Nova Scotia will become the country’s first natural-sea refuge for retired captive whales.

The project could shape global standards for cetacean welfare.

"#BeakedWhales' long, deep dives mean they're difficult to study... They're often offshore, they're hard to access, and hard to see... A #NewSpecies, Ramari's beaked #whale, was discovered as recently as 2021... Using underwater microphones, scientists are listening to beaked #whales' echolocation clicks and buzzes...
