Belugas in Transit: A Troubling Tale of Captivity and Relocation The latest shipment of seven belugas from Marineland, a struggling theme park in Niagara Falls, Ontario, has set sail for SeaWorld's San Antonio location.
This marks the second phase of Marineland's whale relocation plan, which aims to transfer its massive collection of captive cetaceans to aquariums in the United States and abroad.
Marineland's troubles are well documented. The park has been hemorrhaging money and struggling to care for its 30 belugas and four dolphins.
