Help 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 Wellbeing, 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.
These reports will maintain public awareness and ensure transparency in this critical work. This vital data is also available to other organizations and governmental groups working toward the rescue and rehabilitation of the Marineland animals.

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.
Every dollar helps us understand the immediate and pressing needs of the animals at Marineland Canada. Please give if you can. Your donation is a direct investment in the evidence needed to save a life. 
How to Help…? Call for Government Action
Please join the call for an immediate AWS inspection with public results. We’ve compiled links and resources to make it easy to reach out on behalf of these animals. Reach out to these officials.

Hostage Negotiation vs. Healthcare - 2/2/2026
