There's an international emergency rescue effort to get 28 of these 30 beluga whales from Canada to the United States. 
The two others will go to Spain pending approval from the Spanish government. 
The whales have been living at Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ontario, a theme park that closed to the public in 2024 but kept the animals. 
Last year, Marineland said that it didn't have the resources to care for the whales and would have to euthanize them without a relocation plan or additional funding. 
US officials issued the relocation in July to make sure the belugas receive medical treatment and care that they say is not otherwise available in Canada. 
The whales will be transported from Marineland to accredited aquariums, including SeaWorld, the Georgia Aquarium, and the shed aquarium in Chicago. 
Final export authorization will be issued from the Canadian government once veterinarians perform a health check on each animal. 
The rescue effort will take several weeks to complete according to the aquariums and will be centered around the comfort and safety of the whales.
