As of February 21st 2026 - two animals have been rescued from Marineland Canada and are now in safe and clean water!
Holly and Maui - two 18-year-old female seal lions have been rescued and are now acclimating in the B.C. Wild Coast outdoor gallery. (Reference 1) It is hopeful and encouraging to know these two marine lives are out of the Marineland site - and we continue to be thankful for the ongoing discussions for the rescue of the cetaceans (30 belugas and 4 dolphins). It’s exciting to have hopeful rescue options emerging.
The rescue of a sea lion is a massive feat of engineering and care. Now, imagine the scale of a Beluga rescue.
This amazing video reveals the years of planning and intense operational leadership involved in moving two belugas from China into the Klettsvik Bay in Iceland in 2020. It shows a glimpse of all that is involved to safely move a marine mammal like a cetacean to a new location.
