- Shedd Aquarium Rescuing 10 Beluga Whales From Shuttered Canadian Park
The Shedd Aquarium is rescuing up to 10 beluga whales from Marineland of Canada, a shuttered marine park in Ontario, as part of an international effort to rehome 30 stranded belugas. The rescue, involving aquariums in the U.S. and Spain, follows Marineland’s closure in 2024 due to a Canadian law banning marine mammal captivity for entertainment. The belugas will be transported via a specialized method to the Shedd’s Abbott Oceanarium.
