Questioning the Effectiveness of Iceland's Beluga Sanctuary in Ensuring Improved Welfare for Cetaceans in Captivity

After spending over a year in an indoor quarantine facility, the marine mammals were moved to an open-water sanctuary in Klettsvik Bay the following summer. However, in August 2022, a boat sinking caused oil and fuel contamination in the bay, forcing the whales back to the indoor facility for two years of cleanup and repairs.
