Marineland is shown in Niagara Falls, Ont., on August 14, 2017. Two major Canadian tourist attractions are sending beluga whales outside the country as a new federal law looms that would ban exports on marine mammals, The Canadian Press has learned. Fisheries and Oceans Canada said it has approved permits for Marineland to move seven belugas from the Niagara Falls, Ont., facility. Two of those belugas, which are owned by the Vancouver Aquarium but cared for by Marineland, will be sent to Oceanografic in Valencia, Spain, a marine park that the Vancouver Aquarium operates.
