Nova Scotia Whale Sanctuary: A Major Milestone Achieved
A group in Nova Scotia is making significant strides in their plan to create a seaside sanctuary for captive whales. Theyve successfully cleared land near Indian Harbour bay for a forty-hectare underwater net enclosure, which could house up to ten whales. The projects CEO, Charles Vinick, announced theyve reached a crucial pre-construction milestone. The next step involves reconstructing a wharf on the western side of the bay. The project, which was first announced six years ago, has received a twenty-year lease for eighty-three hectares of Crown lands and coastal waters from the Nova Scotia government. The privately funded initiative aims to house whales without public money. However, they still need permits from the federal Fisheries Department and substantial fundraising. The construction cost is estimated at fifteen million dollars, with an annual operational cost of one million five hundred thousand dollars.
