The SEA LIFE TRUST is a registered charity (no. 1175859) working globally to protect the world’s oceans and the amazing marine life that lives within them.
The SEA LIFE TRUST Beluga Whale Sanctuary was created with support from Merlin Entertainments and Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) with the aim of providing beluga whales with a safe and more natural home.
The aims of our sanctuary are:
- To provide a more natural life for the belugas in our care
- To advance knowledge through research and education
- To support protection of belugas in the wild
By leading the way and demonstrating an alternative way of caring for these beautiful animals we want to encourage others to consider sanctuaries as a viable alternative. This change could potentially transform the lives of not only beluga whales but over 3,000 other whales and dolphins currently housed in traditional facilities under human care or performing in shows around the world.
Caring for our first resident whales; Little Grey and Little White, costs our charity £37,400 / $45,000 a month, which includes their food, daily care and monitoring from the dedicated animal care team, maintenance and essential health checks from specialist vets.
