Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO ESTABLISH A MODEL SEASIDE SANCTUARY WHERE CETACEANS (WHALES AND DOLPHINS) CAN BE REHABILITATED OR CAN LIVE PERMANENTLY IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT MAXIMIZES WELL-BEING AND AUTONOMY AND IS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THEIR NATURAL HABITAT.
SITE SELECTION: OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND CONSULTANTS COMPLETED ANALYSIS OF CANDIDATE SANCTUARY SITES AND IN FEBRUARY 2020 ANNOUNCED THE SELECTION OF PORT HILFORD, NOVA SCOTIA AS THE IDEAL WHALE SANCTUARY LOCATION. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SANCTUARY SITE SELECTION, THE APPLICATION FOR LEASE OF CROWN LANDS WAS SUBMITTED TO THE NOVA SCOTIA DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTRY, INITIATING THE LEASE AND PERMIT PROCESS FOR OPERATING THE SANCTUARY. UNDER COVID PROTOCOLS, EXTENSIVE VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS WERE HELD WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, FIRST NATIONS, LOCAL COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS WITH SCIENTISTS, VETERINARIANS AND MARINE MAMMAL RESEARCH SPECIALISTS FROM THROUGHOUT THE MARITIMES. IN ADDITION TO THE EXPENSES ABOVE THERE WERE DONATED LEGAL SERVICES OF 28,000.
EXTENSIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION ABOUT THE MISSION OF THE WHALE SANCTUARY PROJECT WAS EXECUTED THROUGH PRESENTATIONS AND LECTURES BY THE PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AS WELL THE DEVELOPMENT OF MATERIALS TO SUPPORT THIS PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORT. EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND INFORMATION WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO FURTHER TELL THE STORY OF THE WHALE SANCTUARY PROJECT, IDENTIFY WHALES THAT ARE SUFFERING IN MARINE PARKS, AND CALL ATTENTION TO THE URGENCY OF THE WHALE SANCTUARY PROJECT MISSION. A NEWSLETTER WAS DISTRIBUTED TO SUPPORTERS AND THE PUBLIC.
