Ask Us Anything!

Join Dr. Lori Marino, President and Founder, and Charles Vinick, Executive Director, for a year-end chat about the Whale Sanctuary Project: major accomplishments of this year and what we’re looking to achieve next year.

Lori and Charles will talk about work at the sanctuary site, the recent large grant to the Building Fund, and construction plans.

They will also discuss developments in the Canadian Senate and the United States Congress regarding captive whales. In Canada, the Senate is debating Bill S-241, The Jane Goodall Act, which would extend protections in the 2019 “Ending the Captivity of Whales & Dolphins Act.” And in the U.S., Congressman Adam Schiff and colleagues have introduced the SWIMS Act (Strengthening Welfare in Marine Settings) to prevent the future capture and breeding of whales for public display and thus, over time, to end the exploitation of whales in entertainment parks and aquariums.

Lori and Charles will also bring us up to date on how the Whale Sanctuary Project is participating in an unprecedented collaboration at the Miami Seaquarium among nonprofit groups, independent veterinarians, the new owners of the Seaquarium, and local government, to create a better future for the orca Tokitae, who has been living there for more than 50 years.

All of this and more, and Lori and Charles look forward to answering your questions.
