Iceland to get world’s first open sea beluga whale sanctuary

Iceland is soon going to open an open sea beluga whale sanctuary, which is going to be the world’s first. The open sea beluga whale sanctuary is expected to attract a large number of tourists in Iceland. The sanctuary is located on the island of Heimaey, which is a part of the Westman Islands. According to reports, it will be at the Klettsvik Bay.
According to reports, two 12-year-old female beluga whales, named, Little White, and Little Grey are being brought to the open waters of Iceland’s Westman Islands by Sea Life Trust, a conservation charity. This project has taken six years and conservationists have now devised a safe way to transport the whales this June. The two whales are going to travel by land and air, to reach their new home in Iceland.
The world’s first marine project where two beluga whales are going to be in an open-water sanctuary, and according to the authorities, the main priority of this project is to see that the whales are healthy and well.

Also included here will be a puffin hospital! This place will house beautiful little puffin chicks, and they would be monitored and researched on. There would also be a visitor’s centre, where guests can come in after paying a fee. A great place to learn, and understand all about whales. Visitors would also be allowed to visit the bay in small batches with the help of boats.
