flag Fishers in Nova Scotia oppose a proposed whale sanctuary near Wine Harbour, fearing it will harm their livelihoods and safety.

flag Fishers in eastern Nova Scotia oppose a proposed whale sanctuary near Wine Harbour, fearing it will disrupt fishing access, threaten livelihoods, and increase risks like entanglements and disease spread from non-native whales. flag The project, backed by a 20-year lease for 83 hectares of Crown land and waters, includes plans for a 40-hectare floating pen to house belugas and orcas possibly imported from Marineland Antibes. flag Though proponents cite low-risk assessments, federal approval is pending, and the fishers, representing about 140 operations, say they were surprised the project advanced without adequate consultation.
