A proposed whale sanctuary in Port Hilford, N.S., hopes to offer a safe haven for whales coming out of captivity. And two orcas from a marine park in France could be its first residents.
This concept image shows the 40-hectare inlet in Port Hilford, N.S., chosen by The Whale Sanctuary for a whale retirement home. It would be as large as 50 football fields and about 300 times larger than the biggest captive whale tanks. "I grew up in Nova Scotia. My dad was an oceanographer. And I remember some of those storms … so, my first concern is whether or not such a facility that seems so exposed can actually survive," said Trites.
