Marineland poolHelp us support the Marineland Canada animals. Our Emergency Animal Shelter App (EASApp) is being used to document the care of animals that remain at Marineland Canada.

DARTCC, Cultivate Wellness, and several dedicated partner organizations are working together to support the vulnerable animals still at Marineland Canada. We are dedicatedly working to uncover the exact animal count and health status of each animal stranded in Marineland. We are also reaching out to the community to forensically explore the health of animals that have recently been transferred out of Marineland to other facilities.

We urgently need your financial support. These animals cannot tell us about their experience, but we can carefully observe and track behavior and medical statuses to better understand how we can advocate for their wellbeing. These animals deserve safety, dignity, and proper care.

DARTCC will publish an animal tracking report every two weeks that is available to other organizations and governmental groups that would find this data helpful in their work toward the rescue of the Marineland animals. Our reports will maintain public information and ensure transparency in this critical work.

We are sharing updates every two weeks to keep the public informed and ensure transparency in this critical work. If you would like to receive these updates, please email:

    Why Accurate Data Saves Lives — Especially for Captive Animals   The days of packed crowds are over, but their confinement continues. The days of packed crowds at Marineland are long over, but the confinement—and the crisis—continues for the animals left behind.  This video shows the conditions of Marineland, Canada as of November 2025. Amid extended political negotiations and the policy delays of any neglect and cruelty case, it’s too easy to forget the day-to-day needs of the animals involved. Strong, accurate data and medical tracking is often their best lifeline. Without consistent patient health and care tracking, cross-organization communication breaks down. Medical records go missing or are non-existent. Provision allocation becomes haphazard.  Since 2020, Canada’s Animal Welfare Services (AWS) has issued 33 orders against Marineland Canada. (Citation) Four remain unresolved: Poor water quality Maintenance and repair of the water system Proper record-keeping for whales and dolphins Inadequate enrichment levels for dolphins, seals, and sea lions. We are working to uncover the exact animal count, current health status, and transport readiness of every animal remaining at Marineland.  These animals cannot speak of their experience, but we can - by carefully observing, tracking, and analyzing their behavior and medical statuses - begin to understand their needs. And, begin to prepare for their rescue.  Medical recordkeeping creates the essential data tracking that allows effective advocacy for these animals’ day-to-day safety, dignity, and humane care.  The Critical Question:  What are the exact counts and health statuses of the animals remaining at Marineland today? Help us amplify the call for full transparency on the health and welfare of the animals remaining stranded at Marineland.  See our first roll-up animal tracking report. (LINK to PDF?  URL?) We will publish this tracking report every 2 weeks.  If your governmental, animal advocacy, or veterinary group would like to receive this report directly, please let us know. If you have information or a resource to share that helps identify and monitor the health status of the Marineland animals - please reach out.  We want to hear from you: reception.desk@cultivatewellbeing.health

    Disaster Preparedness And Its Role in Protecting Animals and Humans From Loss of Life

    Written by Iris Ornek  Introduction On July 4th, 2025, a flood tore through Texas, causing hundreds of fatalities, earning its title as one of the top ten deadliest flash floods in U.S. History (Masters, Burt, & Henson, 2025). The flash flood happened with little warning, with water levels rising over 20 feet in under an hour (Sanchez & Rless, 2025). Many experts and media outlets attribute the high death toll to a lack of disaster preparedness in Kerr County, where many of the fatalities occurred.
