Kudos to the @globeandmail for this stunning editorial about our evolving attitudes and laws about animals. "The lesson of [the Marineland] whales is that we have to examine our own blind spots and recognize our own failings."

For the first time in 60+ years, no whales or dolphins are known to remain in captivity in Canada.
This milestone reflects decades of advocacy. Thank you to everyone who fought for change and cared for the animals along the way. 🐋

A group of orcas was captured on camera engaging in what scientists call "ram-to-fragment" behavior.
One whale holds a large sunfish and lets go just before another rams it at high speed, pulverizing the fish into thousands of pieces.
In a new study, scientists say the behavior could be a clever way to feed the young, a form of play, or a combination of both.

Together, we changed the law for animals! 🎉
Bill C-16 has received Royal Assent, strengthening protections for animals harmed as part of interpersonal violence. Thank you to everyone who spoke up and to Justice Canada and Minister Fraser for championing this legislation.

Humpbacks were once common in B.C. waters, but three years of whaling (1907-1910) eliminated -all- of them from this region. With no whales left to pass on knowledge of feeding grounds, it's taken a century for them to rediscover their former range.

Dr. Lori Marino joins Dave Schlom of North State Public Radio to discuss the human bias toward other species and the remarkable cognitive abilities of dolphins and whales. Using Dr. Marino’s recent SETI Institute Drake Award as a springboard, they explore our complicated relationship to intelligence in the animal world, how AI might help decode cetacean communication and why we need to expand our understanding of intelligence beyond humans.

Healthy oceans are vital to our environment, economy, and communities across the country.
Through our new nature strategy we’re taking action to conserve 30% of our marine and coastal waters by 2030 — like in the new Mia-yaltwa Ha'lidzogm hoon National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, where we’re protecting thousands of kilometres of coastal water in BC.

I’m proud to announce on World Ocean Day that Canada will host the 12th Our Ocean Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in spring 2027.
Halifax 2027 is where Canada shows what ocean leadership looks like, and where the world gets to work.
